If you have an opened QlikView istance and use the command line to open a new file... it already opens in a new QV istance... or maybe I didn't understand your issue?

I don't know how to help you because if I have a .qvw already opened and via command line I write qv file_to_open.qvw it aleady opens in a new istance, with two processes...

Actually I'm opening the second QVW from a previously opened QVW

so I have an opened document QV1 that has a button this button calls a batch file to open another document QV2

currently QV2 opens in the same QV client window

what I want to accomplish is as if I open another QV.exe then in this newly created QV.exe open the second document

Do you really need to use an external .bat?

Can't you use the button action --> External --> Launch and specify in Application the qv.exe with the path and under Filename the .qvw?

This will open the .qvw in a new istance...
