How do I select a view for a frame so that it source is dynamic based on server?

I want to load a view into a frame using a formula. Since users access the same view on different servers, I want the loaded view formula to be dynamic depending on the server. Can’t seem to make that work using the frame properties wizard - it won’t accept any formula other than the one it writes automatically.

IN the Wizard…

Formula for the kind of named element:

“View”

Formula for the database:

“CN=NOTESS2/O=CS!!CIC/Call.nsf”

Formula for name of named element:

“PortalAllCalls”

when I try to make the formula for the database dynamic, with something like:

svr := @Environment(“MailServer”)

I get weird errors that tells me things like I can’ create a new directory, etc.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

You can include the server as part of the formula for the database. I believe the syntax is “server!!dbname.nsf” - the formula must resolve to text. I saw similar errors using @Environment, but maybe you can get the server value from @maildbname or @dbname.

If you want the server to be the user’s home mail server:

srv := @subset(@maildbname;1);

srv+“!!dbname.nsf”

If you want the server to be the current server:

srv := @subset(@dbname;1);

srv+“!!dbname.nsf”

These seemed to work.
