Yes. The procedure to create qvw file is as follows:

Suppose you have XX-prj folder generated for XX.qvw.

You have the XX-prj contents in tact, but XX.qvw is not available.

Create a blank qvw file with the name XX.qvw (Start QlikView, File -> New, File -> Save As)

Copy the XX.qvw and XX-prj folder to a folder

Open XX.qvw file in QlikView which will read the contents of the XX-prj folder and update the XX.qvw file.

It work .. However i found sometime if there was some action script done on the Field .

Sush as Year/Month Value Change.It will missing because the field did not exist .

So my method :

After reload the data with the new created qvw .

Save it and copy the prj and overwide it again

re-open it and save.
