Qlikview Report 'hook' to spawn external applications?

[#1]

I was wondering if there was an external hook/macro that could be invoked from a Qlikview report (via a mouse right click or similar) that could launch an external application with the Qlikview cell parameters that had been right clicked being passed to it.

e.g. a Telephone number from a Qlikview report table being passed to an application that would run a call trace on that number.

Many Thanks

Sandy

Hi Rob,

thanks for all the help - it is now working for imsi.

The fact that I was using IMSI instead of imsi for a while delayed my troubleshooting - sorry!

Cheers

Sandy

Hello Rob,

You mentioned :

"...This "link in a cell" method can be simulated in V8 using a macro. If you need V8 I can provide an example. ..."

Can you please provide an example in V8 using a marco?

Thanks

Hi Rob,

I have added a button and in the action calling micro to launch an external application. In the qlikView client, it is working fine but on the server it is not working. It does not give any error either. I am using QVServer 9.

Please help.

There is an option in the QVS Security settings "Allow unsafe macro execution on server". You probably need to set this option on.
