@ExpandNameList problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello,

I have a problem with the @ExpandNameList undocumented formula. It can work on computer and not on another one! I have the feeling that when Designer client or Administrator client are on the computer the formula is working. But for a simple user with a Notes client (V6) it doesn’t… Is there a special dll or exe to be installed or something special to do ?

for example :

temp:=@ExpandNameList(“MY_SERVER”:“names.nsf”;“MY_GROUP”);

@SetField(“subject”;temp)

This works on my computer, but doesn’t on a computer of a user B !

=> it is not due to a “special right” or something like that, because when I try with another ID (user B for example) on my computer, it works!

Thanks for your help!

Hi @all,

found this Post and have done some investigation!

  1. For constant / correct use you need a servername / mail-servername!

  2. If you use a servername as parameter it works fine and constant!!!

I am facing the same problem with @ExpandNameList. The funny thing is it worked fine on my computer for 3 days and after that it stoped working. My computer has Designer and administrator client installed. So I don’t think working of this formula has anything to do with designed and administrator client installed.

I am desperately waiting for the solution to this problem

Yes, me too I have Designer/Administrator installed and it works! on all computers with Designer/Administrator installed it works (at my jobplace) but for the computer with only a standart Lotus Notes client it will work on a computer bt not on the other!! => have you try on another computer without Designer/Administrator installed ?

have you tried another computer other than user B and yourself?

Yes, it works on 4 computers but not on other 2 computers! but I don’t know why… it is the same Lotus Notes versions 6.5.4

(=> It is not a access right problem)

just a thought but see if any of the groups the user is a member of appear in their personal address book on their PC. That would be the only reason I could think of why it would work using the same ID from one computer but not another. You said if you use the ID of 1 of the problem PC’s on your PC it works so this may explain why.

in personal address book there is no special group (only LocalDomain and OtherDomain that’s all). The difference is a computer with Domino Designer and/or Domino Admin client installed = it works at 100%. For those with only Lotus Notes client sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t… it’s so weird !!!
