Hi,
I need to edit 3 toolbar buttons that are in the dwa7.ntf template. I’ve been told that I need to look at removing the ‘hide-when’ options on the buttons.
I’ve had a look through the template using designer but I’m unsure of where the code for the toolbar buttons would normally be found.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Matthew,
Look under Shared Code ==> Actions. This is where all the Tools menu options reside. After you double-click on the particular one you want to change, for example “Tools\Preferences… Formula Formula”, the Shared Action properties popup window should appear, if not, click the yellow diamond icon in the toolbar to access it. Go to the second tab (hide-when). Uncheck the “Hide action if formula is true” statement. I know the reason I have had to remove the hide/when formula has been to provide backward compatibility (like when I was updating a version 7 mail template but knew users were still using version 6.5).

Thanks,
I found what I needed in the end. I opened dwa7.ntf in designer and went to the Folders view. From there I could open up ($Inbox) and then remove the 2 offending buttons was we do not use them (after taking backup copies of the template first of course). I also had to change some of the Action bar settings as the background colour was causing the error.
It was all due to ECL errors and the use of @GetProfileField in the template Hide When formula.
