I have a simple application with one form. The form has the field “Store form in document” checked and also the database has the option to “allow use of stored forms in this database” option checked.
When I create a document I mail it out using @Command(MailSend). The form has a SendTo field with my name in it and a saveoptions field set to the value 1. When I mail the document it is sent to my mail box successfully and it does appear by the $ fields I see in the document that the stored form is there. However, when i display the document the background color of the form is lost. Is there something more I need to do to get the color to display correctly? Thanks to all for your assistance.
Subject: Do you have a $PaperColor item ?
You may need to add a $PaperColor item to the document being sent.
I don’t know why the form’s background color would not be carried with a embedded form, but using $PaperColor should let you work around it.
Subject: I do not have a $PaperColor Item.
i am pretty much a novice at some of this so I will take a look and see what this means and how to use it. I was very surprised whe the background color did not transfer. I am tempted to open a problem ticket with Lotus. Just want to make sure I have missed something obvious. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Subject: Couldn’t make $PaperColor work.
I did a little research on this field and it seems to me that it should control the color. I see the field value when I look at the document properties of the document I mailed, but the color does not change. I think I will call this one in tomorrow. The background color should be carried across regardles.
