Opening the "Edit Script" window is slow.

emoncisvais — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

I always open the "Edit Script" window with the Ctrl + e keys and it always worked well and fast. A few weeks ago I opened one .qvw document which in my opinion is not that big or complicated. In this particular document the window started to take considerably longer to open. Then, this same thing started happening every time with every document I open. It even happens with new empty documents.

Anyone has any idea why this happens?

Are you using the latest Qlikview version?

Re-install or download the latest version.

My guess is something is corrupted and my best bet is to install QV again.

Hi,

You can try deleting the ToolBar7 folder in HCR\software\QlikTech\QlikView.

As with any changes to the registry, you should always make a backup before you start,

Sorry I cant find the folder anywhere... Is there any specific file to delete?

It is a registry setting.

Hello Ariel,

I did not. I have not used QV directly in my computer in a while but I just tried opening it again and it seems a bit faster, though not as fast as it was at first.

If I ever find a solution I''l post it here.

Hope you can find some way to solve it.

Regards.

Hello Eldad,

In my specific case, I could not find a solution. The thing is, it is faster now though I did nothing special. Maybe updating to SR12 helped a little but it is still slower than it initially was. Have you tried the solutions Fred and Bill suggested?

hello all,

I found the reason for that.

In the "edit script" take a look how many connection option you have.... one of them is causing the problem.

in my case it was QVSManager Batch Tool. after i erase it, the problem solved.

Hi Ariel,

How do you remove connectors?

ariel_klien — Mon, 22 May 2017 10:12:21 GMT

Just remove the files under %CommonProgramFiles%

%CommonProgramFiles% = 'C:\Program Files\Common Files' on most systems but it may be translated ('Fichiers communs' in french for example)
