Embedded View not displaying on Web page load

I have a form with an embedded view that is based on a formula.There is a dialog list that lets the user select which view will display on the form. There is a default value for this field, but when the page loads I get a “no documents found” message. If you change the field value, then each view loads properly. The field has the refresh on keyword change property enabled. If I set the embedded view to use a static value instead of user input, it still generates the error. This is a small view (<200 docs), but the select formula is somewhat complex. I am guessing that the page is loading faster than Domino can execute the View select formula.

How can I get the default view to display before the user selects a value from the dialog list?

Hi Frank,

I am not sure what the problem is… but instead of the field providing the default view try having the dialog field start with a default value of " - Select to Change - " or something and in the formula for the embedded view finish off with something like this:

@IF(selectfieldname=" - Select to Change - ";“Your default view”;selectfieldname)

HTH,

Mark

That worked, although I never did figure out why the view will not load until after changing the field value.

Thanks
