I have a form which has a button “Submit for Approval”. On click I want it to open up a webpage link on notes which contains a policy agreement that the user must read. After reading maybe when the user closes the window, a yes/no prompt will appear stating if whether the user agrees with the policy. if he click yes, the form will be submitted, else he returns back to the form.
Subject: What kind of app is it?
Is this a web-based or native Notes app?
In Lotus Notes, I would use a combination of “hide when” formulae and a Microsoft Web Browser control to display the HTML content.
Without understanding a little bit more about your app though, it’s hard to give you much help.

hi, its a native notes application. just that the policy link will direct to the web browser…
Subject: RE: What kind of app is it?
Why? Is there a particular reason you can’t display the policy as a Notes element? If you display a Notes dialogbox, you can actually do what you want to do since you can integrate the dialog directly into the submit action.

den can i open up a url link in dialog box?
Subject: RE: What kind of app is it?
No, you would store the policy in a Notes document and display that. It would not have to be stored in the same database, so you can keep a single policy document active for multiple applications.
I realize that calling you a novice Notes developer is being generous – your level of platform knowledge is negligible. The code you require is well beyond the scope of this forum, since it deals with a language (LotusScript) and concepts of which you are currently completely unaware. There is no way I can think of to give you the information you need without providing an example. Do you think it would be fair to ask a badly disabled person trying to get by on $206 per month to do that work for free so you can collect your own salary?
(To be completely honest, I can’t see how you can ever expect to create anything but the most trivial kinds of applications unless you get some kind of training, and soon. We are not going to do your work for you forever – sooner or later you are going to have to learn enough about the platform to do your own job. We all have problems we can’t see through, but sooner or later people are going to quit responding to your questions if you can’t do most of the work yourself.)

Well, when I first read Stan’s comment I thought maybe he was having a bad day 
However, having just spent half an hour trawling recent postings I can see why he has posted about the large number of postings with fundemental issues.
Stan is totally correct, for your own sanity and ours you need to gleem some basic development skills and knowledge on your own back. Yes the forum is here to help and share but you have to at least have the basics!
Can I suggest that you look at the tutorials on this site, the app dev red books are a very good starting point and if your company will pay, get them to send you on a development course. Also, try things out, you learn best from experience and trial and error.
Good luck.
