Good day all!

Hello Jason,

Does your document allow to execute external programs via macro?

Go to the Editor Script dialog, Settings tab on the bottom part, check "Can Execute External Programs".
Check in the module editor that Requested module Security and Current Local Security allow "System Access".
Besides make sure that you are allowing macro execution on server, go to the QEMC, System, Setup, QlikView Servers, click on your server, Security tab, Allow Macro and Unsafe macro execution on server.

Hope that helps.

Hi Miguel,

Thanks for this fast reply. Actually, I did all the settings from your list, but unfortunately I still got the same error.

Hi Jason,

Then it may be something related to the coding of the macro, NTFS permissions to run applications in the folder by the user...
