Input text data

[#1]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set something up where a user can input a text comment, save the comment, and view it in a later qlikview session.

The qlikview app I'm working with contains a dataset for a bunch of Orders. The sheet I'm trying to add this commenting capability to displays data for an individual order. What I want to be able to do is this: when a single Order is selected and being displayed in this tab, an input box is enabled. The user can enter whatever text they want, then click a button called "Save Comment". The save comment button will run a macro to add this text to a spreadsheet that relates Order ID's to comments. This spreadsheet in turn will be loaded on every reload of qlikview to display the already inputted comments.

I'm just putting this up here because I want to see if anyone knows of a better way to do this.

thanks,

Dan

I go through something very similar using an Excel file to store the data.
