Sir,

I give the example code for my problem.This code working correctly my main code will work perfectly.

The example code is:

In a view action button click event code

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim s As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim agent As NotesAgent

Set db = s.CurrentDatabase

Set agent = db.GetAgent("test")   'Test is the agent name

If agent.Run = 0 Then

	Messagebox "Agent ran",, "Success"

Else

	Messagebox "Agent did not run",, "Failure"

End If

End Sub

My agent code : “Test”

Sub Initialize

Msgbox "Test the agent"

End Sub

I click the action button,the msgbox not display,but an error is display. The error is

Unsupported trigger and search in the background or embedded agent.

I run the agent using formula command runagent event the msgbox display correctly.

How i rectify this error.

Sarangan,

The problem lies with your agent, not the code launching it.

The error means that the agent’s usual trigger (from actions menu, against selected documents) is not supported when it is called as a back-end agent.

Change the agent to run Manually from Agent List and make sure the agent is not set to run against “selected documents”.

Good Luck

Ben

If you just want to run an agent, then use the Simple Action option to run an agent in your view action. Otherwise, see my other post.
