I have an application in which I would like users to be able to access a few of their most used database links. I created a profile document which includes some rich text fields into which users can paste DB links. (For each one, I created a text field for the link description in addition to a rich text field for the actual DB link.) Then I created another form which retrieves the values from the profile document with @GetProfileField (“computed for display” text fields for the descirptions, “computed” rich text fields for the actual DB links). I display this form with the profile values in a frame (Notes client).
At first glance it appears to work correctly, the descriptions I put into my profile document display, and the little blue database links display. However, when I click the displayed DB link, rather than opening the DB for which I created the link, another window is opened with my original application…
Further investigation reveals that if I right-click the DB links I’m displaying, and check the link properties, the “description” correctly displays the DB Title for the DB I want to link to. However, each of the links I pasted into fields in the profile document (one link per rich text field) displays the same Replica ID…the Replica ID of the original application.
I know that I correctly pasted the DB links because:
a.) When I check the link properties, the correct DB title displays in the link description.
b.) When I have the profile document open in edit mode and click the DB links there, the correct DB opens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Gigot
