Hi, I need help with this problem.

Lets imagine the situation:

there is a document with field “MyField” and its value “Value”. An user opens the doc and changes “MyField” value to “NewValue”. Then the user wants to save the doc. And before the doc is saved I need to get both values in Lotus script (“Value”, “NewValue”).

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument

Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument

’ now i have set uidoc and there is no problem to get the “Newvalue” by FieldGetText method

Dim doc As NotesDocument

’ and now i dont know how to set the document. it is the document that was opened before editing (“MyField” has a value “Value”)

please can u help me with that. thank you very much

for example…declare in form declaration

dim thisUIDoc as notesuidocument

dim oldValue as string

sets in form postopen

set thisUIDoc = source

’ save ol value

oldValue = cstr(thisUIDoc.Document.getitemvalue(“YouField”)(0))

… user make change

…you code

dim newValue as string

newValue = thisUIDoc.fieldGetText(“YouField”)

msgbox oldValue + “=” + newValue

Dear Petr ,Try to capture old value in some hidden field . On the form load you can set this value and check if they both are same then ignore if diffrent values then do what ever you want to do.

Hope you got it.

Hi

Its quite simple - all you need to do is use a global variable.

In the onLoad event (onLoad can be used for Lotusscript - in fact it is the preferred event) just get the value of the Myfield value in the variable.

So if the user saves another value in the field - you will still have the old value of the field in your global var and the new value from the field itself.
