Section Access and Save/Replace File Prompt

[#1]

Hi all,

I have section access built into a number of modules, and every time I save, I receive the standard "Save As..." Windows prompt (rather than simply saving/updating my changes in the existing file). Section access always causes Qlikview to treat the document like a new unsaved file. When I click "Yes" to save, it asks if I want to replace existing file with the same name (yes, of course! It's the same doc!).

Is there a setting I can choose so I don't receive this prompt? It's rather annoying.

Paul, did you find a solution to this?

No, there is now way to change this. Since Section Access has kicked in with a data reduction, the file is no longer the same, and QlikView will treat the open document as a new file.

Henric, thank you for your reply.

What if there is no data in the document?

In my scenario, i'm recreating the QVW from the -prj folder.

If the data reduction takes place, a flag is set that the file is no longer the same, and this triggers the "Save As". QlikView doesn't "know" that the selection/reduction doesn't remove any data. No comparison of "before" and "after" is made.

If you create it from the prj-folder, it doesn't really matter what you do - the file will be the same no matter if you save or not.

Hmmm...Don't you need to save to write UI changes back to the -prj?

You are of course right, Rob. If you make UI changes, it makes a difference. My assumption was that you didn't.

Paul, is this just an annoyence or are you trying to do something? 

e.g. my vbscript was failing because the save wasn't working, I was able to change my vbscript command from save to SaveAs and now I'm set.

No UI changes.  Just recreating the QVW from -prj.

If the question is why I'm doing that? It's because I save the -prj to SVN.
