Variable Directory

Hi at all

I created a button in a qlikview application in which, if I click on it, I can open a pdf file that i have already created and put in a specific folder on my desktop. So i used an action (Launch)...then i selected the application (Adobe) and as working directory i pasted the right one. So everything is ok.

Now i would like to create an input box in which an user could write his specific directory path and open the same pdf file (he save the pdf file in a specific folder different by mine). So i would like to do it because i want do it flexible. The user write his path in the input box, the input box is a variable (v_Directory). Then I change my directory with $(v_Directory) but it doesn’t work. Is there a way in order to do that?

Thanks

Andrea

Hi,

I redesigned the text object you have used.
mostly the problem was with the working directory declaring section.

The following screen shot shows the working version of your application.

While clicking the button the PDF opens. Also in the filename I have directly given the file name.

Attached the qvw.
