It is compatible with notepad but has a lot more features and almost no limitations, unlike notepad. In addition to that, you can add QlikView syntax coloring to the editor which helps mightily in detecting typing errors. </P><P></P><P>Download Notepad++ from: <A href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/" title="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/">Notepad++ Home</A></P><P>Download Syntax highlighting files and instructions from: <A href="http://www.qlikviewaddict.com/p/qlikview-notepad.html" title="http://www.qlikviewaddict.com/p/qlikview-notepad.html">QlikView Addict: QlikView Notepad++</A></P><P></P><P>Best,</P><P></P><P>Peter</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:09:51 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/how-to-create-a-qvs-file-using-a-notepad/m-p/960660#M963610 Peter_Cammaert 2015-10-12T15:09:51Z Re: how to create a .qvs file using a notepad https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/how-to-create-a-qvs-file-using-a-notepad/m-p/960661#M963611 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>wow! noted! thanks peter!</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:19:46 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/how-to-create-a-qvs-file-using-a-notepad/m-p/960661#M963611 jim_chan 2015-10-12T15:19:46Z
