Use trigger: Activate Sheet

PFA

Edit: If you want to open a sheet from different application, then use trigger to open the new app and in that app use another trigger to open particular sheet using Activate Sheet, On Opening the appication action.

Thanks tresesco, is there any direct way i can do this from one first application only insterad of giving on open action.

Because in our case the other application is also having many maore sheets and we have many such images for opening different sheets in the other qlikview application.

Hi,

set the images as a background in  text object.

Create separate qlikview files for each image and go to the action  property for the text object

External->Open qlikview document->Specify the name of the document you want to open for that image.

Create on button in each and every document  and give the action to go back the main document contain images.

But it required more space...... If it's possible use it I hope it will helps you

Application1->Click on image1 : Open Application2->On Open -> Activate Sheet1
                        Click on image2 : Open Application2->On Open -> Activate Sheet2

                         Click on image3 : Open Application2->On Open -> Activate Sheet2

This way?

And it is always suggested to avoid macro. You should try with trigger AFAP.

For using triggers i have to create diffrerent version of same Application2fone for each sheet.Is it?

No. See, if you click on image1, you land up to application2's sheet1. So the clicking on the image is exclusive, if you click on image2, you can't click on image3 because you have landed in application2 by then. If you want to get back to application1 and click on another image, you have to use a trigger in application2.

Or, something else is there in your logical implementation? (may be i am not thinking of).

You are current in saying application 2 is already opened. In Our case images are from diffrent different applications and of different different reports from that.The target application is not fixed.So i want some thing which i can parametrized according to application name and associated sheet ID.
