open another qvw with active sheet

[yelin_nyu]

I created some 'fake' sheets, I want the sheet to open another qvw when people active the tab. I set on open trigger, but it doesn't work. am I missing something? Open doc action works when I have a button. but I want people go straight to another doc by click on the tab itself

It's a bit buried in the Help, but the Open Document action is not available as a Sheet Trigger. Search "Add Action Dialog" in the Help.

Launch and Open URL are not available as Sheet triggers as well, so you can't use them as a workaround. I can think of two alternatives:

1. Hide your tabs and make buttons or Text objects that look like Tabs.

2.

a. Create a button that does the document open action.

b. Create a macro that presses the button.

SUB OpenOther

ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BU01").Press

END SUB

c. Have the Sheet Action run the macro.

**Caution -- I haven't tested this idea on the server.
