Hi,
I have an application in which I want to use the memo form and have copied it from the mail ntf file along with some subforms and shared action buttons.
All the items get copied correctly However on saving the Send/Send , Send/Send and File , Save and Save and close etc changes to Send/Personal To do , Send/Group to do , Send/Reschedule
Please help with where could I look for details…or why this is happening.
Thanks
Subject: copy the memo form
If I were you, I would build your own custom memo form or not build any form at all.
The memo, reply and reply with history forms have a lot of overhead–the buttons you speak of use a number of script libraries in order to function…and I am going to assume that you did not copy those script libraries to your application.
At its simplest, a document needs two fields basically to be e-mailed: a SendTo field, and a body field for the message. In both formula language and lotusscript, the mail sending functionality allows you to specify the recipient as part of the function so you don’t even need to have a sendto field as part of your document.
My advice is to not create a custom memo form. In my experience it is always more trouble than it is worth and Domino provides enough flexibility through both formula language and LotusScript to make nice looking e-mails that can utilize the existing memo form in a user’s mail database. After all, the reason you probably want the custom form is so that your users can receive e-mails from the database that look like every other e-mail the receive. Well every mail db has the memo form in it, and it is the default form of the mail db, so even if you don’t specify the form your sent doc uses, it will still use the memo form. so unless you need the form to do something really crazy (and it sounds like you don’t) I wouldn’t create a custom memo form in my application.
