QVD for multi application

Hi

I specified the storage location of the QVD file created with App1 below, but I cannot view it with another App2.
Anyone know why?

[lib://AttachedFiles/{file_name}.qvd]

Can you paste your complete code? It's too hard to guess.

That is probably because the qvd file is literally attached (drag & drop) to one application, i.e. - it's local to it and so can't be found by another app. To make it available to another app, either - attach it to that app too or place that qvd to a commonly accessible path.

The script below is the QVD generated script and QVD load script.
I'm using the enterprise version. Is it related to not being able to access the folder?
I have no authority, etc.

<QVD generated script>
For i=NoOfTables() To 0 Step -1
Let vTableName = TableName($(i));
If Not isNull(NoOfRows('$(vTableName)')) Then
Store $(vTableName) Into [lib://AttachedFiles/$(vTableName).qvd](qvd);
EndIf
Next

<QVD load script>
LOAD * FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/Sales.qvd](qvd);

LOAD * FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/Sales_rep.qvd](qvd);

LOAD * FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/Item_master.qvd](qvd);

LOAD * FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/Customer.qvd](qvd);

LOAD * FROM [lib://AttachedFiles/Cities.qvd](qvd);

yes, true....

I'd like to put it in a publicly accessible path, but I'm not sure which path is accessible.
Do you know how to check the accessible path?

Try to load (browse) any sample csv/excel from within the script of your application and see - which paths are open for you. Else, contact your system/server admin.
