Need to launch a qvw file from a qvw file (over web, just to make it interesting)

My company needs to bring up a separate QV document from a QV web application.

Execute does not work in this case. Ideas welcome!

You can use a Launch button that launches IE (usually C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) with parameter = URL to your application on server (like qvp://YourQVServer/YourApplication.qvw).
Try and see if this is what you want.

I did the same once.
But using the qvp:// link causes problems with some systems.

So I think the best way to do it is to use the following link in the button (without referencing to iexplorer.exe)

http://localhost/QvPlugin/opendoc.htm?document=Films.qvw

See attached example!

Works fine for me on QVS 9.00.7119.4

http://localhost/QvPlugin/opendoc.htm?document=Films.qvw

Films.qvw is stored in the default mount folder:C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\Documents

funny but I installed completely my Qlikview 9 version so that the examples(films.qvw) are added and tried again.. It is starting mozilla rather than IE and I cannot open as usual..

hmm; possibly the button starts the operation system default browser!

is Mozilla your default browser? if so, set IE as default, because otherwise the ActiveX-plugin won't work..

Any insight as to what the path should be for a website using SharePoint?

Hi rva,

I changed but still it does not work... For me the examples are saved in

C/Programmes/Qlikview/Examples/Documents/Films.qvw

I think that must not be a problem right.. I wonder why this simple thing does not work for me.. Tongue Tied
