Launch of external app fails in WebView

I have setup a button that launches an EXE to allow a user to input some data to save back to a database. I noticed that it works perfectly in the designer, but when I enable WebView (which I am assuming is what will be used when someone uses the dashboard over the web) it fails to launch the EXE. Nothing happens at all. I changed the button so that it launches a URL rather than an EXE. I made it launch www.google.com and while it did actually do something it launched the following URL: http://qlikview/QvAjaxZfc/www.google.com

What do I need to do to get it to launch the EXE and/or the proper URL in WebView?

Thanks

Craig

Hi,

When published to QV server, launch EXE button won't work .

Set up a web page to input data and save to database (or upload some text/csv/xls file) . Webpage can trigger reload via EDX after input / upload succeeds

So you mean use a button to launch a web page that allows for the input?

Do you have an example of how to automatically refresh the dashboard after the update/save happens?
