How do I open an xpage in the client from an action button in a view

I am a total newbie into doing xPages, but have a task of creating another look for a to-do list in the mail-database. I now have an xPage like I want it to be, and the idea was to be able to open that xPage from to-do list view in the Notes client via an action button. But I can’t figure out how to do that? Can’t i t be done?

Thanks

Thomas

Subject: Use NotesURL to launch XPages

call @URLOpen with a NotesURL.

Here is some more information: Using Notes URLs to open XPages, Forms, Framesets and more in the Lotus Notes Client | dominoGuru.com

You can also put the NotesURL on the XPage to “re-open/go back” to your standard frameset.

Subject: this just resolves to opening to the default view

thank you for your response, Jim.

I did try this (and was also aware of the article on Dominoguru.com) but as subject says, it just opens the mail database to the default view (inbox) - if I add ?openxpage to the url (i.e. notes://server/maildbreplicaid/xpage.xsp?openxpage) it seems to do something, but it never responds - actually the Notes client keeps being busy, and I have to kill it in the end.

Is there a special trick to work around that it just opens to the default view?

Subject: I am new to XPages as well, but have gotten this to work, make sure it is nsf not ntf

I am not certain what else might be needed. But when I first started playing around with this, I noticed that it wouldn’t work in NTF only NSF.
