Can't open excel files withQlikView

[#1]

Hi

I cant open excelfiles with qlikview even though they are not protected, can it be a user access issue?

[yblake]

using "\\host\path" syntax assumes that "path" is a network shared path.

Can you see "QlikView" shared folder when exploring \\192.168.101.130 host thru the network ? Can you open excel file remotly in exempel subfolder ?

[#3]

is there anyone that as an idea why i as a user can reach the files with local path like d:\QlikView\files, and not through a network path like \\someCompNameOrIP\QlikView\files?

[#4]

i found the error, i could see and get the files since i had permissions on them, but had forgotten make part of the users on the created shared folder, under share. thanks everybody for your input

Accessing a file from a remote machine is done using a network share name like:

\\someCompNameorIP\shareName

When mapped to a drive letter, like "D", you can reference files within the "shareName" like

D:\subdir\myFile.xls

The full (UNC) path to this file would be:

\\someCompNameorIP\shareName\subdir\myFile.xls

In your question, you said this works:
d:\QlikView\files
but this doesn't:
\\192.168.101.130\QlikView\exempel\NyaMux5.xls

Assuming 😧 is a network drive, In your UNC form, you are missing the "ShareName" portion of the path -- whatever you used to map drive 😧
\\192.168.101.130\ShareName\QlikView\exempel\NyaMux5.xls
