DbColumn not refreshing

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have an application where in form #1, I have a column declared as a DBColumn from another form in the same data base. I have an action button that will allow me to go an create a new form (form #2) for this field. The field on the initial form(#1) is declared as @DbColumn(“”:“NoCache”;“”;“Viewname”;1).

After I save the new form(#2) with the new value, it does not appear in the original form(#1) until I close the original form(#1) and re-open it. Is there a way that I can create the new form(#2) while in the original form(#1) and have the new value become available to the original form(#1).

You need to set the field to “Refresh choices on document refresh” and refresh the document. This is easiest if the keywords form (your Form2) is opened in a dialogbox using LotusScript, since you will be able to wait for the new document to be created and saved and refresh the first form/document all in one chunk of code.
