Bookmarks issue with QV9

montubhardwaj — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 06:12:22 GMT

Hi Community,

I am facing this weird issue with bookmarks. I have around 6 bookmarks for one of our application. But while selecting a particular bookmark, the desired object/report is not opening. It is just doing the selections as per the bookmark.

For example, suppose I have 3 sheets in my application. I have a bookmark which should be going to 2^nd sheet and open the 1^st chart object with the selection (Current day and West region). But instead of this, on selecting a particular macro, it will not go to 2^nd sheet and open the chart object but it will do the Selections (Current day and West region).

Moreover, if you go to the 2^nd sheet manually and then select this bookmark, it will minimize the opened default report.

I am using QV9 SR6. Please let me know if you people have some idea about this.

Did you check the "Include layout state" property for the bookmark?

Thanks Ron and Deepak. I have already checked "Layout State" property in the bookmark. We have migrated from QV8 to QV9 actually. Some of them have this proerty checked but for some other it is not checked.

But I have this problem even with the bookmarks where I have this property checked.

Does the problem go away if you recreate or Replace the bookmark in V9?

Hi Rob, Yes . It goes away if we re-create the bookmarks. But the problem is I am not sure whether my client will be able to provide the bookmarks again

Is there any work around to get these bookmarks working ?

Is there any other macro / action triggered by OnOpen or OnActivatesheet events ? Disable all of those and test if bookmarks work correctly.

Hi Alex,

Yes we have Macro which will trigger on opening of the application. But we need these macros as they are required for specific properties.

Exporting and Importing the bookmarks may be an easy way to recreate them. (menu Bookmarks, Export).

We did export them and imported them again but no success. Mayne we have to ask the users to create bookmarks agai ? or is there something we can do using actions/triggers ?

Nobody said you should disable macros for all users. Test it first, and see if it helps.

If you have not already done so, I suggest contacting support. You might also review the exported bookmarks and see if you can find something in common with the ones that fail.

Hi Rob, Hi all,

All the bookmarks were working fine in QV8. The problem started only after migrating to QV9. I tried all the ways and also suggested by you people but was not successful.

So I re-created all the bookmarks in QV9 (as per QV8) and checked the "Layout State" property in each of them. All are working fine now in QV9 now. Not sure what was the issue may be the were corrupted. But anyway the problem is solved now. Thank you all.

Hi,

I have the same issue, but not sure to upgrade from V8.

i suspect it's the macro for preselection.

But i noticed one thing, if we check the checkbox under the " + " sign, and try the bookmark again, it works.
As i can't change other users' BM, i'm trying for them to confirm.

If this works, at least, we wont have to recreate the BM again.

Question: Does anyone know how can we EDIT a bookmark selection? and what does the + means?

Thanks.
