Using 'Launch' action with relative path

Hi, guys!

I have a problem I couldn't find the answer in qlikcommunity. Recently I have tried to use the action 'Launch' in a text object. I only need that this button opens an Excel file I have in my data model. However, It doesn't seems to work with relative paths, only when I keep my files in the same folder. The problem is that I won't be able to keep both of them in the same place.

The action in the image above works perfectly for a structure like the following:

But what I would need is something like this:

[..\1. Fonte de Dados\Equipe Atual e Feriados.xlsx]

Any idea?

Regards!

Hi,

works for me if I insert into Application box the path between "":

"..\1. Fonte de Dados\Equipe Atual e Feriados.xlsx"

Let me know.
