Hello All,

I have an action in a form, but we wnat to run it in several docs. I figure that I’ll move the action to a view, but I’m getting an error about a variable not set. Can this be done?

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim ws As New notesuiworkspace

Dim session As New notessession

Dim db As notesdatabase

Dim uidoc As notesuidocument

Dim doc As notesdocument

Dim cd As String



Set uidoc = ws.currentdocument

Set doc = uidoc.document



Set maildoc = session.CurrentDatabase.CreateDocument



With maildoc

	.Form = "Form name"

	.SendTo = "Send to"

	.CopyTo = "copy to"

	.Subject = "Subject"  

	.ComputeWithForm False, False

	.Send True

End With	



Call uidoc.save

Call uidoc.close

End Sub

Yes, you should be able to do this. You can enable the LotusScript debugger to see where a runtime error occurs - it is with the “Set doc = uidoc.document” statement as you now have a different context from the view. Since you have the line “Set maildoc = session.CurrentDatabase.CreateDocument”, you do not need the two prior set statements that are causing the runtime error. An alternative is to have the action be a shared action and submit it into several forms in the NSF.

You don’t have the NotesUIDocument object in a view. You’ll have to use notesUIView.Documents to get your NotesDocumentCollection, then cycle through it to get your NotesDocument objects.
