Compose command not working in r6 (?)

Hi i use the r5 function in a r5 application

@Command([Compose]; “”; “F-Formname”)

but this does not seem to work in a r6 client (??)

also the form option: include in create menu does not work.

what’s wrong?

Haven’t heard anything else about Compose command being broken – you’d think there would e a flock of reports. Ditto as regards include in create menu form option.

I’m assuming these problems occured together, with the same form. I suspect there’s something about the form that is the cause of both problems. Could it be:

the user doesn’t have access to compose documents with the form, or

form name is not what you expect, or

form was created in the wrong database (e.g. created in a template and the design of the application database was not refreshed, or created in another replica and has not been replicated to the one you’re testing in).

?

i guess it is due the fact that the application is a release 5 database which i access via release 6 client.

if i create a copy with my release 6 client everything works fine… :-?

We have experienced the same/similar problem.

The Compose command always ends up on the same form and that also happens when you try to compose a document from the Create-menu.

I thinks its a bug. We use both a 6 client and a 6 server. As our database is in a production environment we arn’t very keen to make a new copy of it :frowning:

So is there any other ways to fix this problem? We have tried to run fixup on the database with no effect.

Form formula in the view maybe. I’ve got a similar problem when I want to create a new doc from a view. The probleme was from view form formula that always overide form required. To correct it, before create a new doc, change view with a view that do not use form formula

… or write a better Form Formula. There’s no disputing that Form Formulas are powerful. If you need to use one at all, make sure that it allows the database to function the way users expect it to. For instance, the Compose problem is easy enough to get around by using @IsNewDoc in the Form Formula, and making sure that only the documents you actually want displayed with the overriding form are displayed with the overriding form.

I am also having the same problem. This has to be a bug. Has anyone ever found a resoultion. This is a huge problem.

Thank You,
