Click on Action Hotspots results in error in form header when form is in frame

I am having further difficulties working with form headers when the form is opened in a frame. I had posted this yesterday http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedWeb/80c8b1193321911c852576ef0050dc1f?OpenDocument

Later I discovered that I was having more problems. The form that seemed like it was working ok in the lower frame of a 2 frame frameset (frame name is NotesPreview)is actually NOT working ok. I had several action hotspots to do some of the things I would have normally done on the form action bar. The hotspots were working before I turned on the header and when I posted yesterday I The reason I was using a form header and putting action hotspots within it was to save ‘real estate’. I have a lot of content that needs to be on each of the two open forms and in this case I combined several actions along with the info that should remain visible (incident#, etc) while the user scrolls down within the frame. Using an action bar would necessitate using up more space than I needed just to display the actions.

The action hotspots DO work, however, if I open the form in its own window (ie not in a frame).

Notes Designer Help states that you can use anything within a header:

“. Headers can contain any element that a form can contain. The only caveat is that a table cannot be the first element in a header; it must be preceded by a text object, even if the text object is blank.”

Is this bug documented?? I’m hoping that someone has found a way to make this work.

Subject: WORKAROUND SOLUTION: Click on Action Hotspots results in error in form header when form is in frame

I had posted that action hotspots that were placed in a form header resulted in error messages when the form was opened in a frame. I discovered that only the action that switched to edit mode was erroring. I changed the action to use an agent which got a handle on the doc using documentcontext and then opened the doc in edit mode. No more errors.

Still unable to get a form header to work in the top frame of the frameset though. Notes acts as if the header isn’t even there although it works when opened outside of the frameset.
