Path Variables update is not working

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I am defining Paths as above to find paths directly; it is working fine at client ; Even when I move on to server, these variables are pointing my computer documents instead of documents present in server, hence failing to execute;

I feel Path is getting embedded in document, how can I get rid of this and why is this causing?

Reload the document on the server. Otherwise the variables will keep the values from when the document was last reloaded on your computer.

The variables should be defined before you use them (obviously). Otherwise the 'old' client-side values will be used. Also check that you don't hard-code values into variables somewhere or redefine them later in the script. The DocumentPath() function works fine regardless of where the document is reloaded. So vFolderRoot should reflect that and get a different value if you reload the document using the QMC. Perhaps you can find out what's going on by adding some trace statements in the script.
