BUG: Stored Forms saved in R4, being sent in ND6.5

Here is the scenario:

  • Notes 4.5x database.

  • Form set with the “Store form in document property”

  • Database has “Allow stored forms” on.

I have some code that looks like:

Sub Initialize

Dim ss As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim edoc As NotesDocument

Dim nname As NotesName

Set db = ss.CurrentDatabase

Set edoc = db.CreateDocument

Set nname = New NotesName(ss.UserName)

edoc.Form = “Notification”

edoc.sendTo = nname.Abbreviated

edoc.subject = “The subject”

Call edoc.send(True)

End Sub

If I run this in a 4.5.x client with a replica of the database on any version server, it all works fine.

If I run this in a 6.5 client, with a replica of the database on any version server, it fails on the edoc.send(true) line, with the message:

“Notes error: Invalid or nonexistent document”.

To get around this, I can edit and save the form being used with a ND6.5 client and everything works fine again.

But that’s not desirable beacuse that would mean having to interrogate all databases.

Some feedback from Lotus would be appreciated on this issue and I would hope to see a fix in the next release of ND6.5.

Disclaimer:

I have not tested for this BUG in prior releases of Notes ND6 or R5.

For my application I unchecked the “Store form in document property” and it worked for both 4.5 and 6.

Some feedback from Lotus would be appreciated on this issue and I would hope to see a fix in the next release of ND6.5.

If it’s feedback from Lotus you want, then you need to submit a bug report: this is a discussion forum.

Cheers for the heads-up though!
