@Command([FilePrint]) with formname

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have an action button using @Command([FilePrint]) with parameters as follows:-

@Command([FilePrint]; “”; “”; “”; “”; “”; “frmP”; “”; “”; “”; “”)

However, the specified form is completely ignored and the document is simply printed using it’s own form. Anyone else experienced this or know of a workaround?

Thanks

Is the form a document or a response?

Does the following work instead:

@Command([Compose]; “frmP”);

@Command([FilePrint]; 1);

@Command([FileCloseWindow])

If not then it is something to do with your form.

Hello

If your form is open, then the form name parameter is ignored…but if used in a view, it should work.

The action is on a form - I’ll try it from a view - thx.

Is there a way to achieve this from within a form?

Managed to create an action on the form to print the current document with a different form using LotusScript :

Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim uidb As NotesUIDatabase

Dim uiview As NotesUIView

Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim sPartyNo As String



'Get key value from back-end document

Set uidoc = ws.CurrentDocument

Set doc = uidoc.Document

sPartyNo = Cstr(doc.PRTY_NUM(0))



'Open view and locate the current document based on key obtained above

Set uidb = ws.CurrentDatabase

Call uidb.OpenView("vwCP", sPartyNo, True)

Set uiview = ws.CurrentView



'Print the selected document using an altenative form

Call uiview.Print(1,,,,,"BAUFormDisplayPRINT")



'Close the view

Call uiview.Close

Surprisingly you don’t actually see the view opening in the client, which was an added benefit for me.
