Layout import via "-prj" doesn't work

[#1]

I've tried doing exactly what Rob Wunderlich adviced to do here: How to import document layout, but nothing happened. I.e. the resulting qvw-file didn't contain neither the layout nor the script.

This is info on my QV installation:

Any ideas on why this is so and how to make the importing work?

Thanks in advance!

Make sure that the qvw you are opening has been opened and saved as a qvw before importing. It's not enough to use the "create new QlikView document" form the Windows explorer menu.

Tried it: on the machine where I have QlikView Personal it seems working --

after making what you had told I received an error message "Cannot open the

document because it was created by another user". So maybe import would

work, but I cannot see it due to QV version limitations.

But on a machine with licensed version of QV nothing happened again --

trust me that I've made all the steps correctly.

Maybe there's an issue with QV version on that second machine of mine? What

info should I provide you with for you to make a conclusion?

Was the export done by a licensed version?  Which version?

No, I've done export in Personal Edition (12.10.10000.0)

Info on licensed version number is in the first post.

In my experience, Export/Import  does not work well with Personal Edition. I think it may be designed this way.

Try the export and import with a licensed edition.

Thanks! That variant finally worked out.
