using onpostreload to open new qvw

Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:38:56 GMT

I am trying to make a qvw that, after reloading script, opens another qvw.

I've gone to document properties -> triggers -> OnPostReload -> Actions -> Add Acction -> External -> Open QlikView Document.

Then when I open the expression dialog to specify the qvw, I run into issues. Do I just list the path and qvw? I tried that but it failed. Then I did =&(vNewQVWPath)child_qvw.qvw.

vNewQVWPath = dir\subdir\

child_qvw.qvw is the qvw I want.

I also tried using ...dir\subdir\child_qvw.qvw.

When I create a button that opens a qvw (using that path definition) it works. But OnPostReload is not opening the 2nd qvw after reloading its script.

Thoughts?

I did try that too (after you suggested it). It's not working either.

Are you running this in Publisher?

Publisher will not run OnPostreload macro.

You can use qv.exe /r app.qvw and external task if you need this to work.
