Agent not running ...'Variable not set' error msg

Hi all,

I have come across some code that a previous programmer had written to export selected documents in view. The problem I am having is that the code generates an eror message that says: “Object variable is not set” for the line that says:“carray= view.Columns”.

Can someone tell me why this is coming up? Is this a syntax thing? How can this be fixed?

Thanks,

Dan

Check the debugger, but it looks like your view isn’t being set.

Thanks all (André, Matt and Robert) your expert and simple advice is greatly appreciated. The view did not exist. Thanks for pointing to that link André …I will definitely read both articles.

Best regards,

The message is explained here: Debugging Domino Applications part 1.

It is likely that your view is not getting set in this lineSet view=db.GetView(“vMailMerge”)

either because the view does not exist or the agent is running under the id of someone who does not have rights to access the view.

Try running the code through in the debugger.
