You need to install a SalesForceDLL first.

It's available from the salesforce.com AppExchange site

Depending on your needs I would suggest looking at the new and free toolset for SF from Informatica. It is a data management toolset that basically allows replication of data from SF to another DB. Then you can run QV over this DB leaving the pains of hooking into SF using out of date API based connectors behind.

I ran an end to end test including setting up a SF account and Informatica account + downloads and execution, it took me half an hr. to complete.

Anybody else using this method?

Adrian - Great idea. Infa cloud is brilliant.
used it the other way also: Infa > Salesforce

If you have a PowerMart installed as the client version it's soooo much better!

Downloading the QV API for Salesforce and getting it working on my server took about 15mins.

Jay..watch out for the API versioning of the QV connector it is not always up to date - which is an issue for some.

Thanks -What are the consequences of having an out-of-date API Connector?

Stop working / incorrect results?

And finally - do you know if there is an automated way to be informed a new API version has been released from AppExchange?

Cheers, Jay

Should be in the same folder as in Qv.exe (QlikView installation folder). You may have system files browsing disabled.
