Getview method, Difference between 5 and 6

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have discovered a difference between 5 and 6 when I use the method getview in the database class. I use the method in a webqueryopen agent.

The method calls for the view with the alias lookupFeedback. I also have another view with the name lookup_Feedback and the alias feedback_new.

If the agent runs on R5 the method returns the first view, the one with the alias lookupfeedback, but if it runs on Domino 6, it the method returns the view with the alias feedback_new.

The is solved easily, but why does it behave different in version 6?

First problem is the the _ is not a good character to use in a view name. The _ character allows the user to help with the alt hot key. getView is not the problem. I would take a “gander” at the help file for Naming a view or folder, it will talk about the shortcut key. This _ is making that.

Morale of the story? I would not use the _ character in a view or folder.
