Inconsistent File and Personal Edition

[nigel987]

Hi,

I'm using the Personal Edition - Version 11.20....SR12 64-bit

I was working with my own file (created on the same machine) for several days now. Today the file crashed, I had to close QlikView, and now, when I want to open the file again, I get the message "The File is inconsistent and cannot be openend with QlikView Personal Edition".

Can anyone help here please?

Thanks!

Nigel

I think file has got corrupted ...if that is the case we cannot do anything...

try to open the document without date option in the file menu this may help you .

Omg, do you think it's only lost for Personal Edition or also when I get a license?

Could you tell me how I can open a document without date option in the file menu please???

Thanks

No I think it is corrupted, indipendently from licence.

If you right click the document on the QV start page, select "Open <file> without data".

This may recover your file. If it does, you will need to reload the data. If you have variables not defined in the load script, the variable will exist but the contents will be lost and you will need to restore these by hand.

If that does not work, then I am afraid no one can help you - the file is lost. I hope you have a backup.

Hi,

the file does not even appear on the QV start page in the list of the recent documents. Any chance there is another way to "open the file without data"?

Hi,

Try like this:

[jonathandienst]

Create a batch file on your desktop with this content (1 line)

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" /nodata %1

(Check that the path to QV is correct - this is the default path)

Save this as "QVNoDataLoad.bat"

Now drag the qvw file and drop it on the bat file icon on the desktop. For a normal file, that will open the document in QV without data. It might work for yours.

Hi Jonathan,

thanks for not giving up on me. I tried to open the file, but if fails again and states that the file is inconsistent.

It seems my project is really lost and I need to start over. So much on the importance of having backups

Thanks for your help!
