Hi,

Have you enabled macro execution on the server and are you opening the application in IE using IE plugin?

hi,

how to give IE plugin instead of Ajax, bcoz when i select from dropdown list in server it is not opening the qvw files.

Is there anything to change settings in QEMC or QMC.

Hi,

Go to user documents and select your document, then in server settings tab, under accesspoint access methods check if the IE Client is selected.

Then also check if IE plugin is installed on the client system where you want to open the application.

To show plugin download link, go to system settings and thens select web server and go to accesspoint and there check on the show link for the plugin download.

To make IE plugin as default, select IE plugin as default client.

Hi ,

i tried what you described. its working fine in creating bookmarks and replacing bookmarks, but it is not reloading the app.

Why it is happening ?

i tried below macro :

Sub Reload

ActiveDocument.Reload

End Sub

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This macro will not work because Reload action is not allowed from server environment.

But if still you want to give users a button to do reload then you can use EDX triggers.

Please go to this post this will help you to set it up.

and, Let me know if any issue.

Also, giving users an option to do reload is not suggested because users can keep doing reloads every then and often and since there will be multiple users then if all of them keep pushing reloads then that will not be good.

Rather, I will suggest to keep your reload interval low. So , they get updated data at regular interval.

Hi,

Does the user trying to modify the bookmark have read and write (modify) permissions on the .Shared, .Meta and .QVW files? Is that a Document bookmark or a User bookmark (does it appear in the Bookmarks dropdown list)?

Hope that helps.

Hi Miguel,

I am providing the "Document Bookmarks" in my desktop app.

I can able to see the existed bookmarks in IE Sever, but not able to replace the bookmarks.

The User will connect to IE Server and there he should have a permission to read & modify in qvw file.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Document bookmarks cannot be modified by using a Client (Ajax, Plugin, Desktop connecting to a Server). User bookmarks are. Document bookmarks are stored into the QVW file. This QVW file cannot be changed (as designed, it's not a flaw) or modified from a client. All data stored into Shared files can be modified in a Server environment.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

What i understand from your post is DocumentBookmarks or UserBookmarks that are created in desktop app will not support in any server(IE,Ajax).

How can we create a bookmarks that support in server(IE, Ajax,etc) from desktop application itself ?

Is this possible ?

Please let me know if possible how to create bookmarks that support in server(IE).

Thanks in advance.
