Define Commentary as an InputField in the script.

Please see the attached file for the solution. You can do the following:

1) You can edit the commentary field

2) You can save to a QVD using a macro

Thats Great! Thirumala

I have few queries if you could answer those.

1. Will this solution work after publishing the qvw in server. If Yes, do I need to make any changes?

2. I am using qvd as my back hand to generate reports, and qvd is having 20-30 columns. Out of 20-30 columns I am using only 7-8 columns to display in report so how do I save the change in same qvd without impacting any other data.

Many thanks in advance

I am using qvd as my back hand to generate reports, and qvd is having 20-30 columns. Out of 20-30 columns I am using only 7-8 columns to display in report so how do I save the change in same qvd without impacting any other data.

Can you please help me with sample.

1) It should work

2) Would you elaborate more. You may store seperate QVD for 7-8 Columns. Then, You can refer that qvd. It seems 2 diff qvd's. It never impact

Load only the incident id and the commentary from the exported file. Create a mapping table with those two columns. Then load the qvd with the 20-30 columns and use the applymap function to replace the commentary of the original table with the commentary from the export.
