QlikSense Problem with Folderconnection

[jomamma1]

Hi - I'm having the darndest time with a folder connection.

I've connected the folder.

I'm trying to STORE the contents of a table into the *qvd file.

Everyone has write permissions to the folder behind the \\FolderConnection data connection.

Attached is a screen shot.

Connection Definition and Failure

Tried again pointing to c:\temp and getting the same error

Not sure why uswin_v374914 is coming next to the connection name.

i assume you tried deleting the folder and adding again with same name.

(uswin_v374914) - for some reason it's appending my userid.

Found it!

I had to go into the QMC

Take off the uswin_v374914 that was being appended to the FolderConnection name.

I'm not sure HOW it got appended there (other than uswin_v374914) is my user id - but what a nuisance.

Thanks for the help out there.

Yep, that is what I was trying to say.

For whatever reason, if you create/edit a connection in the load editor it will appent your userid to the name of the connection. You are right it is super annoying. I usually go into the qmc right away and change the name before I use it.
