HI i think u can launch the differnt qvw from the  textbox through external action.

if u want to open the sepecif tab of the  differnet qvw u can save the applicaiton with the tab u want.

so when ever the application is launched the tab with the last saved version opens..

Thanks

Hi Shree

True. But I have 10 text boxes in one qvw and 10 tabs in other qvw. The above solution wouldnt apply to this scenario I suppose.

Found a solution.

Written a macro to read a text box and set a variable to trigger a value (sheet ID). When text box is selected it launches another qv application and calls the value (sheet ID) deifned in the text box

The hyperlink below opens the IE Plugin, opens a QlikView document and sends a variable that when the document is open it looks for the variable and opens a specific tab on the document.

http://QVServer/qvplugin/opendoc.htm?document=QVDocument.qvw?vOpeningSheet=2

This is the Macro that runs OnOpen

sub GoToMFSheet

set v = ActiveDocument.Variables ("vOpeningSheet")

if v.GetContent.String = "1" then

ActiveDocument.Sheets("SH44").Activate

v.SetContent  "0", True

else

if v.GetContent.String = "2" then

ActiveDocument.Sheets("SH49").Activate

v.SetContent  "0", True

else

v.SetContent  "0", True

end if

end if

end sub

Just another way.
