Hi,

I'm using below code for opening the link it works fine when i'm accessing in web from using "IE Plugin" but it creating problem with "Full Browser Version".

Please let me know is there any other way to get success.

sub OpenURL

if ActiveDocument.Fields("Link").getSelectedValues.Count = 1 then

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Launch ActiveDocument.Evaluate("URL"),""

ActiveDocument.Back 'Go back so we don't do the selection

end if

end sub

Thanks in advance

Hi,

There are code and triggers that do not work in AJAX being they could be ran server side. I would recommend you check the QlikView reference manual and see if what you are doing is supported.

Also, I don't see ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Launch ActiveDocument as part of the API. You might want to double check it. Please remember the API can chnage between version.

Hi,

Not sure what you are trying to do, but it appears you are trying to launch something. If it is another QlikView document they look at Document Chaining.

Hi,

Just use a button and use Open URL even to open the selected image URL.
