A simple problem i have a form consists of one field(combobox) and one embedded view. based in the combo field selection i need to display the documents in the view. I never used the show single category. On the status bar category not found message is displayed. can any body help me…
If the Show single category event of the embedded view computes to your combobox and the combobox is set to refresh the doc on keyword changes, it should work straight away.
The only other thing to consider is, that the combobox should never be empty. You can use @DbColumn on the embedded view to provide the values and you should provide the first value of the list returned by @DbColumns as the default value.

After you made your way through that, start reading blogs that deal with Domino web development like
