Hi Rama,

these are not just Qlikview terms, but throughout computing in general,

Absolute and relative paths

An absolute or full path points to the same location in a file system regardless of the current working directory. To do that, it must contain the root directory.

By contrast, a relative path starts from some given working directory, avoiding the need to provide the full absolute path. A filename can be considered as a relative path based at the current working directory. If the working directory is not the file's parent directory, a file not found error will result if the file is addressed by its name.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Suppose your Qlikview file is in this folder

C:\Level1\Level2\Leve13\Level4

and you have your QVDs in this folder

C:\Level1\QVDs

Now ../ will goes back to one directory for example

from C:\Level1\Level2\Level3\Level4 to C:\Level1\Level2\Leve13\

../../ will goes back to two directory levels

C:\Level1\Level2\Level3\Level4 to C:\Level1\Level2\

If you want to access QVDs in C:\Level1\QVDs then you have to come to 3 folder levels and move into one level forward i.e., QVDs folder

../../../QVDs

Hope this helps you.

Jagan.
