Author fields please help

Ok here is the deal, I have a form on the web that a user fills out and it creates another form. The problem is the user can not edit a document that they created. I checked and they are the author of the document but they still can’t edit the document.

I have an author field and in the form and I have tried everything

CN=John Doe/O=WHEREEVERY

@Author

@UserName

@Name([CN];@Author)

“*”

but not matter what I put in the author field it does not let the user edit the document it says please sign in with a user that have sufficient access.

I have read everything here even the reader and author trouble shooting link and nothing has worked. I have also checked the document properties for the author field and it just says

Field Name: Authors

Data Type: Invalid or Unknown

Data Length: 0 bytes

Seq Num: 54

Dup Item ID: 0

Field Flags: PLACEHOLDER

It does not say anything about READ/WRITE access. I also read about the IsAuthor you have to set but I have no clue how to set it either, people say use lotus script but I don’t know where that lotus script code would go.

Please help I have been working on this for 2 weeks and I am at the end of my rope, thanks everyone.

I tried that, and it did not work, i think i am overwriting the author field each time because i set it in the author field default value

Did you check the value of the Author field contained in the uneditable document using the Properties box (in the Notes client)? Are you sure that the field really IS an Author field (as also stated in the Properties box)?

If you are talking about the list of forms and then you click on design properties it says

Field Name: Authors

Data Type: Invalid or Unknown

Data Length: 0 bytes

Seq Num: 50

Dup Item ID: 0

Field Flags: PLACEHOLDER

In the design view it is of type authors.

Subject: No, of the Document

Show the properties box of the DOCUMENT, not the form. In the Document properties box you can see the document’s fields and their their types and values. This is very useful for troubleshooting.
