I made some kind of error in a macro and closed the Edit Module window, but now I'm unable to open it again. When choosing "Edit Module..." in Tools Menu (or using shortcut ctrl+M) I'm kicked out of the QlikView application. QV doesn't quit, but it's sent to background in Windows (and last used application becomes active).
It only happens in the qvw I was working on, and it doesn't help if I open the qvw in QlikView Desktop on another computer.
How can I get back into the Edit Module window..?

Update: I attached an almost empty qvw file that illustrates this problem in a comment below. http://community.qlik.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/681944-142192/edit_module_problem.qvw
Hi Henrik,
This is what I have done. Save a copy of your application as a backup if anything goes wrong
1. Create a folder in the same directory as your application (edit_module_problem.qvw) and name it edit_module_problem-prj
2. Open the application using QV desktop version and save it without making any changes
3. Open the folder we created in step 1 and it should have all the xml files that compiles your application
4. there would be a file called module.txt. This will have all the codes you have written in the application using the `Edit module` functionality. If you any obvious errors with your code, amend it, else comment out all the lines.
5. Open the application now and you should be able to access the `Edit Module functionality.
I am attaching the application you attached previously in the post with the project files I have extracted following the above steps
Hope the above helps.
I'm having this same problem - did you get any resolution?
Thanks.
Bump?
If I find a solution elsewhere I'll post it here, but right now I have no clue...
It's odd that we've both had this same problem today... as if there has been some kind of update or something?!
I cleared everything(!) from my QV app (except the faulty macro that I'm unable to edit) and saved it as a new qvw. I have attached this qvw document if anyone would like to take a look for themselves and experience the problem described (it's impossible to open the Edit Module window).
Hi Guys,
Having the same issue. `Edit module` works for some QV docs but not for all. Have you managed to resolve your issue?
Thanks,
Iqbal
Hi Henrik,
I have had a look at you file and managed to comment the line of code that was not working and causing the Edit module not to open as expected. Commenting that line of code makes the `Edit Module` window open again.
What did you do exactly, and how did you do it? What should I do?
