I am trying to create a toolbar that will launch the New Memo form but counldnt get the right code.

i am using this now: @Command([ToolsRunMacro]; “wOpenMemo”)

it give me an error message “Invalid script”

how else could the launch new memo script/command.

thanks.

**in further findings…there is a code to open a new memo. but what i would like to do is to call my own memo which is in a template mytemplate.ntf which inherited from mail6.ntf

how can i call my own new memo from my inherited template without corrupting the mail6.ntf/nsf files.

You mght have to do a bit more than that, I’m, afraidYou could try just putting a @command ([compose],yourdatabase,yourform) on a toolbar icon, but you might need to do some ‘stuff’ to get the database first

Will this memo be created in the same db always?

ok a clearer explanation here.

i intend to create a new template, which is the mail6.ntf and do some modification on the new memo form. the reason i did this is because to ease the deployment to multiple client(diff company). i dont want to replace their existing template bcoz they might already made some customisation on it and some may b running on different version.

therefore i intend to create a toolbar button that will call my own new memo form from the db as always. so u see there will be a mail6.ntf file and my own mytemp.ntf residing on the domino server.

this is the only way i could think of that would not cause much trouble.

any input would be appreciated as i am on learning curve here.

i found a @command tht call out new memo but tht directed to mail6.nsf instead of own file. any pointer will do me good.

thanks everyone.

You’ll have to use @commands to open the new mail database first, then run the macro, then close the view you just opened

will give it a try

any more input keep them coming.

thanks chris.

**update

i manage to test out my new template/database by copy the files to my domino server directory.

on my client Notes, i create a new custom toolbar, add a button and this formula: @Command([Compose]; “myserver”:“Test.nsf”; “Memo”) behind the button.

result, it pick up the particular database and create a new memo based on my customised one. this is the only viable way for me now.

the only downside is i need to specify the database’s server destination in the toolbar. i need to deploy this to different server so it will be not a good idea to implement this way as i need to specify different server for every installation.

also i notice there is no way to export my custom toolbar. any other way to export it?

one more thing! i m developing this under windows environment, will it run in AIX/unix environment in the file is copied in the same way?

Hi,

Why you don’t user the user’s mail server as a parameter?

You have this in every client’s notes.ini. Then you will have to make a consistent template name in every mail server you want to use, independant of site.

This wouldn’t be a toolbar icon, but could be what you’re looking to have available at one click. Just open a new memo, and drag that tab over to your bookmarks. Now you have a icon quickly accessible at all times.
