Yes – for example, by using DXL. But it is almost never useful to do this. As Niall suggests, explain what you are really trying to do and someone can probably help you more.

I am using the outline to show some of the database links which the user have access to in a navigation database,

i have a configuration database , where all the users of the different database and access for each database have been mapped, when each of these users login they will enter through navigation database, which has an outline, i need to show only those links which the user is eligible or mapped for else, i need to hide from the user, i am dynamically generating the outline using lotusscript.

i need to write some hide when formulas or hide some outline…

can anyone help in this regards

thanks in advance

Perhaps it will work if you embed the outline in a form. In the form, make hidden computed fields that contain different values for each user. In the outline, use static hide-when formulas that depend on the computed fields. This way, every user can use the same outline with the same hide-when formulas. You do not need dynamic formulas.
