Computed Named Element and "You cannot add a Directory to your workspace" error

I have an Outline that contains Computed Named Elements. These named elements are pointing to a view in another database.

I have written a formula to choose the correct database on the correct server. I am using @ServerName to get the current server and if it is the same as the @UserName value, according to Designer help, it means it is on the local:

delimiter := “~~”;

currentUser := @UserName;

appDoc := @DbLookup(“” : “”; “” : “”; “AppProfilesByUserName”; currentUser; 2);

appDocToGet := @Word(appDoc; delimiter; 1);

userDoc := @DbLookup(“” : “”; “” : “”; “UserProfilesByUserName”; currentUser; 5);

docToGet := @Word(userDoc; delimiter; 1);

empDB := @GetDocField(appDocToGet; “refEmp”);

serverName := @GetDocField(docToGet; “ServerName”);

currentServer := @Name([Canonicalize]; @ServerName);

currentUserFull := @Name([Canonicalize]; currentUser);

fullServer := @If(currentServer = currentUserFull;

                         "";

                         serverName + "!!"

                );

fullServer + empDB

However, this needs to work when users are disconnected (Island location document) from the server. They have replica copies on the laptops, which are in the correct folder structure. When a user is disconnected, they receive:

“You cannot add a directory to your workspace.”

Lost on this one… Is my code incorrect?

Couldn’t find an answer in the forum…

Thanks!

I removed the bookmark.nsf file from one of the laptops and started Lotus Notes again, which rebuilds the bookmark.nsf database…

Tried this again and still recevied:

“You cannot add a directory to your workspace.”

Is there another way to do this - reference another view in another database (Database B) from the current database (Database A)? I guess you could spend the time and write it in Script…

I’m almost at the point of bringing the documents and views from Database B into Database A and be done with it…

Frustrated on this one…

Thanks!

Might be a little late for you but try to change the Database Properties-Launch options to something else, eg. Launch Designated Navigator in the Database you open.

It is worth a try and worked nicely for me :slight_smile:
