I am new to using the Lotus script, I have a form that has about 90 fields on it. I am looking to auto create a view that has one column for each field. I got the script to create the view, but am having problems with the notesview.createcolumn gathering all of the field names and creating the columns. Does anyone have a similar code to do this. Thanks for any help.
Subject: RE: Create a view from a Form
This article describes how to do what you want: Speed up view development — A LotusScript agent to automatically create a view with fields from any form.
However, you may want to rethink your plan to create a view with 90 columns. Lotus Notes is not a spreadsheet – the view is intended for finding documents, not for presenting all the information in the database. The view is likely to impede performance more than it’s worth to users.
Why do you want to do this? There’s almost certainly a better way.
