Hi All,
We have a maintenance ticket system, which resides on the users local hdd's - it draws data from a SQL database.
What we would like to do is launch the application from a qlikview document and pass in the ticked number, in other words:
"C:\Maint\Maint.exe id:1234", (where 1234 is the ticket number from the data row.) when the number is clicked.
I've tried various things but nothing seems to work.
='c'&'<url>'&'C:\Maint\Maint.exe' launches the application as expected, I can't get it to pass a parameter though!
Thanks
Test it with a button "Launch Action" using file exe name as the "Application" and the "id:xxxx" as the parameter.
If that works then build your url as quoted strings like:
="'c'&'<url>'&'C:\Maint\Maint.exe" "id:' & ticketNumber & '"'
or use the button as a workaround

Hi Rob,
Thanks for answering this, I think this was one of the combinations I tried, it returns a "Failed To Launch" message with the exact path of what can be typed into a command prompt to get it to run.
I'm now wondering if there's some kind of block on running an exe with a passed param?
