I'm using variables for licensing my qv module.
for example i'm using a variable storing a date in it, and then i check with vb code the value of it to determine if a license is ok or not.
If Important, i'm using section access also in my qlikview module.
I ran through a problem, and it is that every use can see the variables and even edit it's values.
Can I hide a specific variable or it's value?
Can I stop a user from going the the menu and select Variable Overview option etc.?
Here is the interesting thing from Help:
In this three-column list the names of all non-hidden variables and their respective values are displayed.
It mentions non-hidden variables, which tells me there is a means to hide them, but I am not sure what that is, the only thing I have been able to find is the HidePrefix and HideSuffix, but those make no direct reference to variables, only fields, so I do not know if they will work or not, but that is likely the only possible option I see at the moment:
Sorry I do not have anything better, but this gives you something to at least try, hopefully it may work with variables as well.

Brett
