DXL file as a file resource

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have created a subform and moved it to a DXL file. I have put the DXL file into a Notes database (as a file resource) in which the user will identify a target DB to to “unload” the sub-form into.

I’m able to do everything except access the DXL file in the file resource. Can someone tell me how I can tell the LotusScript object DXLImport that I don’t want to use the file system, but rather the Notes file resource as the DXL file source?

I know that this all sounds confusing, but I don’t want to trouble the user with identifying the target file AND the DXL file!

Hi Markus,File Resources are not directly accessible by LotusScript. You could try Java since resource files are accessible via HTTP. The less stressful version would to pack the DXL file content into a RichText Field. Both the DXLExporter as well as the DXLImporter support that.

I think you should be able to get the handle to it with LotusScript.
