1 - Copy it to a local drive, might be some security permissions on one drive

2 - create a new file, save it to the same location as a different name and see if it opens

Hi  Roger ,

Thank for the replay .. i have tried both option .

1) Copy it to a local drive, might be some security permissions on one drive-- "also same issue "

2)create a new file, save it to the same location as a different name and see if it opens...--" tried with new file with different name .once if i close and reopen the file getting  same error".

please help me  because all my work in the qvw file ..

do you have a  -prj in the application directory? if so, copy it to a new location, then delete the folder  in the application folder

Hi Roger ,

No , i just created  .qvw file ..  even saved location no other file . can you please guide me any root location -prj folder

[RogerG]

Proj folder is in the same directory as the application, and has the same name as the application with a ".PRJ" extenstion.

Other then that, I am not sure whats going on

a few more questions, might help someone else pitch in.

1 - have you upgraded versions or made any changes, like going from server edition to personal edition

2 - have  you tried opening it on different machines

Hi Roger ,

No i am using the personal edition (version 12.20.20900.0),not changed any version recently .

i am able to create the new file  in QV app ,but if i close the qlikview app once .I can not open back the qvw file. its not only particular qvw file.
