You can get the values of any fields within a webform by using lotus script and the documentcontext property. e.g.:

Sub Initialize

Dim session As NotesSession

Set session = New NotesSession

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Set doc = session.DocumentContext

Print "<H2>" + doc.Subject(0) + "</H2>"

End Sub

…use this within a webquerySave agent.

Not sure that I did missunderstand. The issue is to do a comparison between two date fields and to then (if the value has changed) generate an email through the web. You can do this, as previously stated, using a WebQuerySave agent and LotusScript. The session property DocumentContext allows you access to all of the field values of a web document. You can get the field values and then do a comparison:

if date1 <> date2 then

     'Send an email

else

     'Do something else

End if

…Apologies if I am losing the plot here but this appears to be your answer. I don’t have time to actually present the code here but if you search the designer help for documentcontext you will see plenty of examples.

Hello Soma,

You can use javascript to get the field values on the web. Just use document.forms[0].fieldname.value to get the field value.

You can also use javascript onChange event to assign the change flag on change in the field value.

Hope this helps.
