Hi,I have the sample question regarding the Dialogbox in LotusScript, basically I add the following codes on the action button of a view, select any document(s) from this view, and click this button, I want to open the selected document in a dialogbox with a subform, But I got the error message" Dialogbox cannot be used in this context; a documetn must be selected".

I also copied some example from design help, it seems give me the same error,

Does anybody know what’s wrong with my codes?

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim db As notesdatabase

Dim flag1 As Integer

Dim collection As notesdocumentcollection

Dim session As New NotesSession

Set db=session.CurrentDatabase

Set collection = db.UnprocessedDocuments

Set doc = collection.GetFirstDocument()

flag1 = workspace.DialogBox( "Sub-form name" , True , True  , False  , False , False , False , "test1" , doc , True , False)

Use the debugger to confirm what the value of doc is when you make the call.
