Error handle to skip segment

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have the following code.

Set view = db.getView(“PrivateFolder”)

Do Until Doc Is Nothing	

	Set Doc = view.GetFirstDocument

	Call doc.RemoveFromFolder( "PrivateFolder" )

Loop

However, upon first execution, the PrivateFolder does not exist, and continues to loop. I want to be able to run this only after the Private Folder has been created. Should I use an errorhandle for this, or is there a better method?

try NotesDocumentCollection.RemoveAllFromFolder

Thanks Bob, but I believe that will still result in an error if the Folder has not yet been created.

if the view has not been created yet it will be null, just test for that

Try this…

Set view = db.getView(“PrivateFolder”)

If Not view Is Nothing Then

Do Until Doc Is Nothing

Set Doc = view.GetFirstDocument

Call doc.RemoveFromFolder( “PrivateFolder” )

Loop

End if

Alex, you were dead on. The ‘If Not View’ statement was something way at the back of my mind but you touched it. Thank you.
