hi I have an annoying issue.

I would like a variable to be selected upon opening my document.

variable is called 'DEFAULT'

however it seems as if it is not working.

is there any default setting for this in QV?

Hi Brad,

You mean you want to select a value in the variable by default when your document is open?

If so, then you can write an action "Onopen" of the document. For this :

1. Go to settings--Document Properties--Triggers

2. In Document Event Triggers, select "OnOpen"

3. Click on Add Action, and add an action with

Action Type:External

Action : Set Variable

Write the variable name and the value you want to be selected by default.

Hope this helps!

I guess you mean selecting a value in a field which would be picked from a variable. If so, you can do that using a trigger on 'OnOpen' action of document. Otherwise, I don't quite understand the meaning of selecting a variable.
