"Edit Module" dialog box keeps popping

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I have written a sub routine using edit module in qlikview.

Every time I make some selection using list box, the "edit module" dialogue box pops out. Can some body please tell me how to avoid this pop up.

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

It may be due to the reason that you have given the name of that macro in the trigger of some field.

Make sure that you have not assign any triggers for macro.

Hi,

You can go to Document Properties -> Triggers Tab -> here you will find different things on which triggers can be assigned.

Here if you find '<Has Action>' then that is the field or variable on which trigger is assigned.

Kaushik,

Yes, as you say there are triggers for the fields I'm trying to select.

But this is expected behavior as I want the routine to be executed every time I make some changes in the selection.

But all this has to happen in background and pop up must not come.

So can u plz provide a way to avoid this pop up ?

Hi,

The reason for pop up is when QlikView is trying to execute the macro, macro returns some error.

So the macro needs to be corrected in order to stop the pop up of edit module.

Hi,

Try the "Test" button under Module window to check the macro and its working.
