Why not open a qvw with the standard actions

in the target QVW you can set a trigger on open, which selects a sheet

hi,

YOu need not write a macro to acheive this.

Add a button go to the Action tab in properties..

Then Go to

Action --->External --- Launch

You will find four parameters.

Application : You need to provide the path of the Software through which you want to open the file

eg: If you want to open an Excel file the you need to give the path Excel.exe

Filename : Provide the filename eg: Test.xls

Ignore parameters

Working Directory : You need to provide the path of the file which you want to open.

I hope this helps you out.
