Hi thanks for your help.

But How can i apply it on above vb code. we can't use  set app= ActiveDocument.GetApplication directly.

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you planning to open new instance of the QV application? Instead of opening a new document from the same window? Is this right? Are you looking for VB Script? And how are you triggering this code?

Thanks - DV

Hi Dev,

Our purpose is to open and reload qlikview using VB or C# code and i applied above mentioned code which is working fine. But if any qv doc is already open and the same time if i run above code; it got open in already running window which interrupting other application.

I am looking such code who can open new instance of Qlikview.

Thanks.

In your sample code, Qv is the app object. So

Qv.Launch

to use the sample Sarthi suggested. Or use a Shell object and run qv.exe with the /r switch.

Hi Rob,

My proble is as below.

I have to generate some PPT and Excel sheet from QV app. As Windows schedular /Publishers does not support macro (Requested Module security==>System Access and Current local Security==> Allow System Access); I need to develop some application which open the Qv application and press macro button to generate the ppt and excel.

I am developing vb code to open and reload the report wihich is working fine but above code does not open application in seperate instance.

As per Sarathi's code i am able to launch new Qv but unable to reload that application.May be there is an error in my code.

Can you please edit the below code. thanks in advance

Set Qv = CreateObject("QlikTech.QlikView")
Qv.Launch "C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe", "E:\Qlikview\Automated Report\WWW\LaunchApp.qvw"

            Set docObj = Qv.OpenDoc(ReportCompletePath, 3, False)
            Qv.ActiveDocument.Reload

             Set Buttonn = docObj.GetSheetObject("BU01")
            Ret = Buttonn.Press
             docObj.Save
            docObj.CloseDoc
            Sleep 40000
            Set docObj = Nothing
            Set Qv = Nothing

If you are trying to reload the document you just opened, then

Qv.ActiveDocument.Reload

should be

docObj.Reload
