Need help in accessing the shared folders from qlikview server on Access point

shree909 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi Folks,

I have an application. i want to open an url from the Accesspoint (url is a mapped drive with some excel file)

i want to open a file with the url from the button which is a mapped drive.(excel files are located on the mapped drive).

I searched the community and it says: " \\servername\sharename\path\filename"

Let me give my details:

server name: 10.0.1.1

mapped drive: ABC(W:)

filename : ,SP - Sales - Purchasing\ AnnualReport.xlsx

Using the below UNC it says faield to launch. (not able to access from desktop also)

"\\10.0.0.1\ABC(W:)\,SP - Sales - Purchasing\ AnnualReport.xlsx"

When i entered all these details it says failed to launch.

Or Do i need to change anything on the QV server Settings"

Did someone has come across with this issue.

Thanks

Hi,

I can see a comma in your path, kindly remove that.

To get the exact path, kindly open the file location from the local computers using explorer and copy that in QlikView application.

What webserver are you using for Qlikview? Qlikview Webserver or IIS?

Hi,

You need to have permission to access the required folder.

You may contact your network team for the same.

Hi, I contacted with them and they say it has all the permissions to access the files.

even i gave permissions for the services to access the folder. still it says the Access is denied.

	Qlikview Server	Qlikview Webserver
	Qlikview management service ,qlikview distribution service, qlikview directory service connector

Shree,

So you are trying to open external document within a Qlikview document. Can you try the following work around.( see attach, go to original post, if you can't see the attachment)

Since you have Qlikview webserver use the webserver part only, and test it on a test environment.

Finally i was able to solve the isuue.

its due to the ip address that used to connect to the access point, i replaced with the server name and it was able to work .

Thanks for the Qliktech
