Triggers Not Working

[#1]

Hello

I am unable to get a trigger to work within my qlikview document. The trigger is to be set for the 'on open' action, however it does not work. I have macros enabled under the security settings too but the feature still doesn't work. Any ideas?

I've attached a screen shot of the settings for the trigger.

Remove the leading equal sign from the field entry box, just input the field name.

That doesn't work, I tried that previously and reloaded the app. Still doesn't work

[swuehl]

Ok, still use the field name without leading equal sign.

Are you using the OnOpen trigger when opening the QVW in the desktop client? Or in another client?

Could you post a small sample QVW? Maybe it's an issue with the format of your field. What does =max(KPI_Year) return in a text box?

[settu_periasamy]

for checking purpose,

Create a Button, Set the Select In Field

Field :  KPI_Year (don't put equal to sign) - Suggested by swehul

Search String :  =Max(KPI_Year)

check, the KPI_Year selected or not.

As suggested by Swuehl. It should work. Remove '=' sign. Reload application. Save application. Open application. Trigger should work.

This still isn't working. I am using the OnOpen trigger when opening the QVW in teh desktop client. When I put the field in a text box it does work and shows the max year. I'm not sure what else to do

How many triggers you have on OnOpen application? When you open application , is there any sheet level triggers that may override the OnOpen trigger

[#9]

There aren't any sheet level triggers and this is the only document level trigger

Might sound funny but give a try..

1. Remove trigger

2. Save and close the app

3. Open the app and create new trigger

4. Save and close

5. Try your luck..

Hope you are not using '=' sign before field name and data is available in your application.

I did something like in past I guess..
