Hi,I am facing this problem in R8 to R8.5. This is working correctly in R7.
Problem -
Documents in embedded view in an existing document is not showing until you press F9 that too once you select that particular embedded view. Once you close this document (after just reading/saving), it again disappears.
Tired all the ways, like using uidoc.reload etc. But still not working. This is a bug in Lotus R8/8.5. Any solution to this would be highly appreciated.
Subject: not a bug
Can’t agree this is a bug - I use embedded views all the time and have no problem.
If you give more details about the view, is it single category and if so what value is the single category? It could be that your field isn’t being computed properly (is it computed for display?)
Need more info
Subject: Not working in R8/8.5 working same in R7
Thanks Dan for the reply,
I am using Show Single category in embedded view, which is a field (for example - UniqueID). This field is computed when composed and is situated on the top of the form i.e above embedded view in the form (for example - FormA).
Formula used in this field is @Unique without any parameter inside. It is returning value (for example - “RSAR-7SLGM2” ).
This embedded view is created using another form (for example-FormB) having a field - UniqueID. This form is having - “Formulas inherit values from selected document”. And this form is created from FormA (to provide some more info to the doc). This embedded view is a hidden view.
I tried putting computed (which is not correct also) in UniqueID field of FormA. But still it is not working in R8/8.5.
Same application without any change is working in R7. But in R8/8.5 it is not working.
Thanks in advance for your valueable feedback on this.
Subject: uniqueid field
The only thing I can think of (it does sound a bit odd), is that the uniqueid field isn’t actually being populated properly.
To check this, look at the document properties of one of the main documents when looking at it in a view, so before actually opening it. Make sure the uniqueid field is present and correct.
Subject: Embedded view - checked but not working in 8/8.5, working samething in R7
Thanks for your reply Dan,
I checked the UniqueID field in view and after opening the document. It is having same value.
I checked in the R8.5 help, if anything is different for @unique. But this function work same as R7.
Here, same application if it is opened in R7, it is showing documents in embedded view. But when opened same application in R8/8.5, documents are not showing in embedded view. So, definatly something wrong is happening in R8/8.5 which is working correctly in R7.
If you are finding any solution to this problem, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
