Launch IE with a value from the selected record as parameter

[#1]

Hi guys,

I'm pretty confident that there's a simple solution for what I'm trying to achieve here, but since I'm pretty new to Qlikview I am not sure what's the best way to do it. As the topic title suggests, I'm trying to launch IE with a value from a field as a (concatinated) parameter. So let's say I have table "Documents" which contains the field "DocID". I have a TableBox in Qlikview and a button with "open document". On click, I'd like to open IE with a value from the selected record as parameter (something like: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://server01/documents/edit.aspx?id={FB4FC936-5B29-E011-B67F-005056816C04}#", where the "FB4FC936-5B29-E011-B67F-005056816C04" is coming from field "DocID" ). I suppose this can be done via a "launch" action but I have no clue how...

I'd really appreciate it if comeone can explain me as detailed as possible.

Thanks!

Hi,

Try something like the following -

='http://www.mywebaddress.com?id='&Only(DocID)

Where the Only(DocID) is your selected value. This can either called from a button using the 'Open URL' action, or from a Link within a listbox or straigh table.

I hope this helps.

Thanks

Nick

Thanks a lot Nick!

Via a button worked great, struggling to get it working via a link in a table though.
