How to open another qvw file on server by using macro

Hello everyone

   I have a test macro like this

       set App = ActiveDocument.GetApplication

       set newdoc = App.OpenDoc ("qvp://<MYSERVER>/<MYDOCUMENT>.qvw)

it can call another qlikview applicaiton locally but doesn't work on Access Point

i also tried

      set newdoc = App.OpenDoc ("qvp://123.57.xx.xxx/<MYDOCUMENT>.qvw)

but i got same problem

i can't use the trigger function "Open Qlikview Document" for some seasons

and it seems can't be set on Field Event Triggers ( i tried and i failed)

this is very very urgent , any answer will be appreciated , please please help me !!

thank you in advance

Hi Dave

I have not tried this before. Below link might be helpful.

Thank you Tamil

I know about this , but the problem is that "Open Qlikview Document"  is not available for field event triggers

I need to trigger it by clicking on my straight table's dimension , i don't want to use a button

so i suppose i must do it by macro and now i realize maybe "OpenDoc" is not available on Web too..

Are you using IE plugin ? Macros only work in IE plugin or desktop.

is your macro works on desktop?

What is your real requirement? just to open a document from another QVW? if so you can achieve through actions. May be i am missing something here. Please elaborate your issue using actions.

Search for "Document Chaining" in community you will find tons of answers.

Hi Phaneendra

Yes my macro works on desktop , it can't work on IE plugin and Full Browser version

let me put it on this way

i have two documents A.qvw and B.qvw

A.qvw has two sheets (let's say sheet1 and sheet2) and both sheets have a listbox which shown Field "name"

B.qvw has two sheets too

all i want is that if i select a "name" in sheet1(A.qvw) then i go to B.qvw sheet1

also if i select a "name" in sheet2(A.qvw) then i go to B.qvw sheet2

all the state should be transfer

I want it works on Access Point

I tried to set "Open Qlikview Document" action to "name"  but nothing happend

if i set the action into a button , it can works well

but i suppose i can't specific which sheet should be active after i turned to B.qvw

Hmmm... You are looking for a field event trigger.. Let me try. I don't think that is possible by let me see if there are any other alternative ways.

But you are good to use IE plugin? Or just for this sake of this functionality you are using IE PLUGIN?
