QV 9 Open URL trigger not working?

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:38:31 GMT

In my script I build a URL in a field called URL.

I used to use QV 8.5 and had a macro that ran on selection of the URL field, all this did was go back and open the URL.

Now we've upgraded to QV 9 and my URL macro doesn't run? I know that 9 has the ability to open URL's without a macro using the new Open URL action. I've gone into the document properties and under field event triggers I selected URL, clicked the button OnSelect Add Action(s) Added an External Open URL action and in the URL field entered =URL.

BUT this doesn't work, selections of the field just select normally and no URL is launched? I've even tried setting it to run the macro as it used to but this doesn't work either?

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks

On open URL is a frontend action and it is not available for backend triggers (like OnSelect). Your old macro should however still work if started through the Run Macro action.

hi,

i have been trying the same approach as your's for quite sometime but it doesn't work.i don't no why.

But the following macro code works fine in QV9

sub OpenURL

if ActiveDocument.Fields("Link").getSelectedValues.Count = 1 then

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Launch ActiveDocument.Evaluate("URL"),""

ActiveDocument.Back 'Go back so we don't do the selection

end if

end sub

pls check the attached application

thanks

Hi all,

I'm trying to use this macro on QV 11 and it doesn't work from Web Access Point but works perfectly in development environment (desktop software). Is there any solution for this?

Best Regards,
