Disabled listboxes / 9.0 SR2

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

We just set up a new 64-bit environment for 9.0 SR2, previously used 8.2. About 15% of our models have this problem: when opening the model, 1-2 listboxes are disabled, you only see a grey X:

Many times it is a field that comes from Excel rather than directly from ERP database, although that happens too. Could the Excel version have anything to do with it (.xls)? Suppose not.

Two additional notes:

- one user may see this box disabled while another user sees it OK

- the data seems to be there, because I can find and activate the hidden fields by search (for example typing the appropriate Company above works although the graphics don't work entirely).

Anyone else with similar problems?

It's a bug of SR2. We had the same problem. After installing SR1 list boxes got normal view

Some bugs are fixed in each new versions while features that previously worked perfectly become buggy. QlikView should provide a tool that gives a hint about what version should be used to properly open a given document.

Well that would explain it. I wonder if the new SR2 build released yesterday takes care of this. Thanks,
