Locked File Name Restriction

[#1]

I downloaded and installed QlikView personal edition since I recently started using it at work.  Using my personal edition I created a simple qvw to download stock prices.  I then ran the file from VBA using 'Shell (..QV.exe /r ...filename.qvw).  The shell worked fine the first time.  I then attempted to run it again, but QlikView returned an error saying the file was created by a licensed user and therefore I could not open it with personal edition.  I tried to open the qvw directly, but I got the same error ...created by a licensed user...

I then deleted the qvw file and created a new qvw file from scratch in my personal edition and saved it with the same file name as the original qvw.  I did NOT rerun the shell script.  I tried to reopen the new qvw, but still got the error.  This doesn't make sense to me unless QlikView is tracking licensed files by file name.

Can anyone help?  I just got started and this if very disheartening to get stuck so quickly.

Thanks,

Corey

HI ,

Qlikview Desktop does not allow to read  other QVW files , if you try to open them again and again then it will block the things  ,

i am not sure but try once un install the s/w from your pc and install again ..

Thank you. This helped. The -prj folder was the problem. I deleted it

the -prj folder and then I was able to use the file name again.
