Hi!

Please can anyone tell me if there are any way with lotus script or @formula to check if a specified document is locked?

My database have Allow document locking enable.

Thanks

Regards

I have implemented this in one of my databases. You can check for the existence of a $Writers field. If it exists, then the document is locked. To show who is locking it, you can use: @Name([CN];$Writers).

If you want to see a list of all “locked” documents, you can create a view for all documents that contains $WRITERS or $WRITERSDATE - these are the fields used by the document locking routines.

I put a view like this in every database where I’ve turned on locking and added an agent that allows me (or db manager) to unlock any locked documents as necessary.
