The problem is with the input I provide the bat file is stored in a variable (var1) which is set by the same button (see attachment). Even though var1 is set to '1 2 3' before launching the .bat file I must press the button twice before the correct values (1 2 3) are passed on to the .bat file. It seems that the variable must have the desired value before i click the button that launches the .bat file.&nbsp; </P><P></P><P>To have the buttons in the attached qvw Work, You must ceate a .bat file and place it in the same folder that you place the qvw file. The bat file contains:</P><P></P><P>set vInput1=%1<BR />set vInput2=%2<BR />set vInput3=%3<BR />pause</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 May 2017 10:54:00 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Problem-with-button-that-launches-bat-file-with-input-variables/m-p/1364215#M417728 2017-05-04T10:54:00Z Re: Problem with button that launches bat file with input variables. https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Problem-with-button-that-launches-bat-file-with-input-variables/m-p/1364216#M417729 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Sorry - Forgot to attach.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 May 2017 10:56:22 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Problem-with-button-that-launches-bat-file-with-input-variables/m-p/1364216#M417729 2017-05-04T10:56:22Z
