Hi Shashank,

Are you using OnPostReload in your qvw file?. If that is the case then qmc wont run macros in OnPostReload from server.

You can create a batch file to achieve this functionality. Find the document in the URL helping you to achieve the same.

post reload doesn't work on the server.

You can add button to run macro for example, or add External task

in the command line statement you need to point vbs file location.

Some additional works must be done with vbs - open qvw file in the macros
