Computed Date field not refreshing

HCL Domino Domino Forum

My problem scenario is described below:

I have a form which users use to book themselves for an online course.The form has a “Date” field which is computed and the formula is @Date(@Today).

There is one more date field on the form which is getting its value using a Db lookup.There are validations and hide whens on the form which are based on the Date field and comparing two dates.

My problem is when a user saves a document , the date is computed and saved with it.But the computed date field does not refresh itself automatically and keeps holding on to old value.Could anyone tell me how to get around with this.It is really urgent and time bound for me so any help and ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks

Max

Are you sure that you didn’t accidentally make the field Computed-when-composed instead of Computed?

Thanks Lawrence, Yes I am sure.The field is computed field only and it is a client based application.Any more ideas.Thanks

Just to make shure I got you right: The Date field does not refresh, even if the document is refreshed (using [F9] when in the doc is in edit mode) or resaved?

One more question: Why did you place @Date around @Today?

Thanks for your reply Harkpabst.I have been able to solve this by checking the form property Automatically refresh fields.
