Bookmarks issue with QV9

[montubhardwaj]

Hi Community,

I am facing this weird issue with bookmarks. I have around 6 bookmarks for one of our application. But while selecting a particular bookmark, the desired object/report is not opening. It is just doing the selections as per the bookmark.

For example, suppose I have 3 sheets in my application. I have a bookmark which should be going to 2^nd sheet and open the 1^st chart object with the selection (Current day and West region). But instead of this, on selecting a particular macro, it will not go to 2^nd sheet and open the chart object but it will do the Selections (Current day and West region).

Moreover, if you go to the 2^nd sheet manually and then select this bookmark, it will minimize the opened default report.

I am using QV9 SR6. Please let me know if you people have some idea about this.

Did you check the "Include layout state" property for the bookmark?

HI,

When your are creating a bookmark,you need to tick the Include layout state.

Thanks Ron and Deepak. I have already checked "Layout State" property in the bookmark. We have migrated from QV8 to QV9 actually. Some of them have this proerty checked but for some other it is not checked.

But I have this problem even with the bookmarks where I have this property checked.

Does the problem go away if you recreate or Replace the bookmark in V9?

Hi Rob, Yes . It goes away if we re-create the bookmarks. But the problem is I am not sure whether my client will be able to provide the bookmarks again

Is there any work around to get these bookmarks working ?

Is there any other macro / action triggered by OnOpen or OnActivatesheet events ? Disable all of those and test if bookmarks work correctly.

Hi Alex,

Yes we have Macro which will trigger on opening of the application. But we need these macros as they are required for specific properties.

Exporting and Importing the bookmarks may be an easy way to recreate them. (menu Bookmarks, Export).

We did export them and imported them again but no success. Mayne we have to ask the users to create bookmarks agai ? or is there something we can do using actions/triggers ?
