Hey guys,
So I have an application. On this application is a button that will open another application in the same location.
Application 1: Premiums
Application 2: Claims
If I press button on Application 1, application 2 will open. 2 separate applications.
So now, in Access Point, I open the first application and view it in IE, when I click on the button to open Application 2, it tries to open the QVW and asks me if I want to open or save the QVW. As this is my first time using the launch button to open the second app, I was imagining it would just open another tab with application 2?
Needless to say, it aint working.
Any pointers?
Make sure that Both documents are accessible throw access point. and that they both Open.
Then change the Open Document Action to just have The document Name without any path [i.e. C:\qlikview\mydoc.qvw --> mydoc.qvw]
This will work fine if both documents are in the same folder and both can be seen by accesspoint.
If they are in separate location and are mounted by different Accesspoint mounts then you have to put the name of the mount point in front of the document name in the Action.
Perhaps this discussion helps: Passing Parameters in a URL and Document Chaining

Hi gwassenaar
Thank you for sharing.
Excellent discussion on document chaining and passing parameters.
However, here is the weird thing.
I can launch the applications following the document chaining you tube help.
Applications rest on the local host server. When I open Access Point on this server, all works fine. Can open applications etc.
However, when I go back to my machine and go to access point, open my application, click the button and opens the tab as if it were to launch something, and i can see the URL but the page wont load. Even on refresh, it would load the second application after I select the button on application 1.
My local machine has Windows 8, IE11
This works perfectly.
I was using the OpenURL trigger but the Qlikview Document trigger works perfect.
I am now trying to run my Macros so that the new document opens on the sheet I want it to.
Of course the macros on the buttons works on the application but doesnt work when using Access Point but thats for another day
You prob want to use Bookmark with layout. Then apply the bookmark when doc opens. This works in access point.
Have a different bookmark for each TAB.
For those looking to link outside the folder, dont forget to add "..\" to navigate up a folder level. Syntax to link outside of the folder is:
"..\Folder2\App2.qvw"
