Frameset does not exist

I keep getting the error ‘Frameset “frametset_name” does not exist’ and after that, I got kicked out of the database. Can anyone tell me what’s going on?

Thanks.

Maybe the mentioned frameset does not exist in the db. Have a look with the designer.

Could it be that thet frameset is refered to via the db-properties?

If framesets have been removed from the design recently, the problem could also be with a form’s Auto Frame property still referencing the old frameset, I think.

i’ve double checked…the frames are still there and they are pointing correctly…it just kept popping frameset does not exist…

Dear All,

I had come across this problem and found the solution to it as below.

If you create a button with the following formulas :

@Command([FileCloseWindow]);

@PostedCommand([OpenFrameSet];“Main”);

Here’s what happens:

The first command closes the current window. Now if this is the only window for your database that is open, your database will be closed as well.

The second command now no longer can find the “Main” frameset, because this frameset is only available inside your application’s database. This is why the error “Frameset ‘Main’ does not exist” is generated.

All that is needed is a hotspotlink or something like that to open another frameset…with option “Frame” set to “_top”… an example:

Create a page and load that page in “Frameset1”…

On the page type some text…“follow this link to open a new frameset and close the old one”

Select this text and choose “Create” → “Hotspot” → “Link Hotspot”

Select in “Content option” → Type: Named Element → “Frameset”

Select in “Content option” → Value: “Frameset2”

Select in “Content option” → Frame: “_top”

What happens if I should press this Hotspot link???

It will close “Frameset1” and open “Frameset2”…:wink:

found the solution on experts- exchange. But thought it might be useful to people who will face this in future.

Cheers

Kiran

The same is accomplished with an @function:

@SetTargetFrame(“_top”);

@Command([OpenFrameset];“frsNotesEnglishFrameSet”)

Thanks for your solution!

I tried this but the old frameset remains open. Is there another flag that needs to be set?

Never mind… I re-read it and found I’d missed the “_top” requirement. Work great when you follow the instructions :slight_smile:

That’s interesting. Framsets don’t have any access restrictions on their own, but they can be hidden from Notes client or web browser (or both). Did you also check, that the frameset(s) in question are visible to the client?

yes…it’s visible to client
