Dim ritem1 As NotesRichTextItem '(doc1,“UsageLinks”)

	Set ritem1 = doc1.GetFirstItem("UsageLinks")

Are you running this from an agent called directly or from a WebQueryOpen or WebQueryClose agent, or how? You need to make sure that the code is running at all, and where it is failing. You can do that with MessageBox statements (on the web, they will go in the log).

If you call an agent on button click (no matter how), document context does not refer to the document that happens to be rendered as HTML to the user’s browser. All you get is a “virtual” document, that gives you access to CGI variables.

Taking into account your last sentence:

If you call an agent from a button click, then

Dim session As New NotesSession

Dim doc1 As NotesDocument

Set doc1 = session.DocumentContext

has nothing to do with the document that is displayed in the browser. You can add or modify field values as you like, but it’s just not the document you intend to modify.

Change your button code to simply save the document. A simple formula

@Command([FileSave])

will do just , if you kept the database property to use JavaScript when generating pages enabled. Make your agent run on event agent list selection, target none, and add its name in the forms WebQuerySave event. Do NOT call the Save() method explicitely.

Now every time you click that button, all changes to the editable fields will be submitted, the agent will run and modify the document and the document will be reloaded.
