How to read Embedded attachment's within Sharepoint List in Qlikview?


We have an urgent requirement from business wherein we are trying to read data from Sharepoint, however one of the requests is that we should also be able to read the all the attachment file’s, mostly excel sheets uploaded within Sharepoint.

By using the Microsoft Access bridge option, we are able to connect to Sharepoint but not read the Attachment. It just gives the URL when I reload my data from Access DB.

Any help? We went through the community as well, but didn’t find any satisfactory Answers

QVSource has some additional methods for talking to SharePoint and may

allow you to achieve what you want.

Hi Steve,

Can you Elaborate Please?? I am trying to use the Microsoft Access bridge as the method for extraction, however any attachment's which are uploaded within form's in Sharepoint don't get loaded with their text in the access DB , however their path's are encoded.

Any help is much appreciated in this regards.

The General Web Connector in QVSource should be able to read the file and

save it locally. You can then reference the local file in your app.

Hi Steve, Can you kindly give me any pointers to any useful read or something which would help me do this from scratch?
