I think there is no function for that. Maybe write the file name ( your qvd) in a variable to show it in a textbox

No, as far as I know there is no function like what you describe as Filename.

I suggest you set the name fix in the variable: e.g.

SET vQVDName = 'MyQvdName' ;

hi,

I cant use 'set' as i have many QVDs which i want to display the updated qvd info at dashboard.

Hi,

as qvd loads per default create tables named after the file, you might display the table name instead (if not changed manually in the script):
