Hi Dora

Not sure about access point, but I use a URL like the following:

"qvp://visualmagic.ccstaging.com/innovation/Investment Performance (Innovation).QVW?parm_FundName=" & param1 & "&parm_ReportingDate=" & param2 & "&parm_ComparisonDate=" & param3 & "&parm_Deal=" & param4 & "&parm_Investment=" & param5 & "&parm_ReportGroup=" & param6 & "&parm_AccountName=" & param7 & "&parm_Company=" & param8

The following are set up in the QlikView as variables:

parm_FundName

parm_ReportingDate

parm_ComparisonDate

etc

Those variables should hold the values you assign in the URL.

Good luck,

This is brilliant and exactly what I was after also as I like the idea of having links on an expression within a chart rather than a seperate button that calls actions. I was wondering if this could be used in exactly the same way except on the active document as oppose to a different document, so I want to pass a parameter to the current document I have open without having to reopen the document.

All help appreciated.

Cheers
Kev

Looks like I've resolved my own issue, if you open the same document via the URL it doesn't completely reopen it which I was worried about, all sorted now.
