Hi all,
I have a Question.
My company want’s to upgrade to notes 8.
I found a problem, that I cannot add 2 same subforms on the one form.
Does anyone know any work around for this, beside creating two different subforms.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Subject: Why ?
Why would you need the same sub-form to be included twice on a form ? Even if that was possible, all of the field-names would be identical, so the contents would be identical.
Notes won’t let you have two or more fields with the same name on the form, which is why this is not permitted. And I don’t think this is new to Notes 8 - it’s always been that way.
Subject: This was not as in notes 7.
This was not so in notes 7.The reason is cause we want some action button at the top and bottom of the page.
Subject: Ah - wasn’t that a “bug” ?
I seem to remember reading that Notes 7 had a bug which allowed duplicating Subforms on a form, which was sometimes used to duplicate buttons at the top and bottom of a form.
Ah yes - this was in the Notes 8 release notes for Designer … this implies it was fixed in 7.0.3
Domino Server
Using a subform multiple times on the same form on the web The Domino Designer and Notes Client do not allow a subform to be used on a form more than once. The web server was allowing this, which could lead to incorrect forms and possible crashes if the subform were included recursively. With 7.0.3, this problem has been corrected, and an error page will be generated if a form refers to a subform more than one time (whether recursively or iteratively).
It is likely that the only way an application can get into this situation is to use a computed subform, as the Domino Designer will not allow a subform to be placed on the form if it is already on the form.
Subject: The Only Option
This was a handy feature because if you wanted to display a menu on the web, you could display it before and after the view without having to create extra subforms.
It wasn’t supposed to work in R7 but it did - and a lot of people used it. We’re stuck in the same situation - it’s preventing us from going R8 on the server (we’re 8.5 on the clients).
The only way out is to create a copy of the subform and call it something else.
