using onpostreload to open new qvw

[#1]

I am trying to make a qvw that, after reloading script, opens another qvw.

I've gone to document properties -> triggers -> OnPostReload -> Actions -> Add Acction -> External -> Open QlikView Document.

Then when I open the expression dialog to specify the qvw, I run into issues.  Do I just list the path and qvw?  I tried that but it failed.  Then I did =&(vNewQVWPath)child_qvw.qvw.

vNewQVWPath = dir\subdir\

child_qvw.qvw is the qvw I want.

I also tried using ...dir\subdir\child_qvw.qvw.

When I create a button that opens a qvw (using that path definition) it works. But OnPostReload is not opening the 2nd qvw after reloading its script.

Thoughts?

Have you tried using Launch instead

I did try that too (after you suggested it).   It's not working either.

Are you running this in Publisher?

Publisher will not run OnPostreload macro.

You can use qv.exe /r app.qvw and external task if  you need this to work.

Ok, thanks.  I'll try that.
