Directory Settings

I have a setting

Directory \\SERVERNAME\UserDocs\; at the start of my script

The QVW file I'm working on is saved in UserDocs\100_Main

In the script it says LOAD * from 80_SupportFiles\Test.qvd

So I would expect it to try and use that info and load the file \\SERVERNAME\UserDocs\80_SupportFiles\Test.qvd

However, it is throwing up an error saying it cannot open file \\SERVERNAME\UserDocs\100_Main\80_SupportFiles\Test.qvd

Is there a setting somewhere that is adding the "100_Main" bit (i.e. the folder in which the document is saved?

I cant find it anywhere.

Thanks

It will always try and start with the working directory of the QVW.

It is always worth explicitly setting a location for your QVD files. I use

SET QVD_Path = '\\<SERVER>\<Fileshare Name>\qlikview-files\QVDs';
