Hello,
I have a problem that I could not solve on myself. I will describe it with the followingd words: I have to applications. Application A creates a configuration document. It copies this document to Application B as a profile document BP1. Application B need this profile document BP1 during creating a form called BF1. There are other forms in app. B and each of that forms can be assigned one profile document.
PROBLEM: How does my form BF1 recognize, which profile document was assigned to it?
I need a KEY for every form, that know, witch profile document belongs to it!
I tried to use the formname as key, but it cannot be gotten before saving the document. And, I cannot create a field ‘form’ and put the formnane to it, because the Applications have not to be modified.
Do you have any IDea ?

Huh? You can associate a Profile document: - either with a database as a whole, or
- within a database, for a particular user.
Profile docs do not apply to Forms in the database, except that you need to have a Form to display the contents of the profile doc if you want to edit it in the second database.
What exactly are you trying to do - (a) edit the settings in the profile doc, or (b) build a Form which when used to create a new document, gabs some values from your profile doc, or (c) something else?

Hello,
It is case (b). I want to fill some fields, that are depending from the profile document.
This fields are on a subform, and the subform is pasted in any database.
The databases are existing databases and now, I want to put some new fields that depends from that profile.

If you want to find something, you must have a key. I’m not sure you could actually use Notes Profile Docs for this since you get one for the db or one per user (unless you key is the user). You’d probably need to create a regular Notes doc with something that makes it unique for each lookup you need to do. Stuff these ‘lookup docs’ in a view sorted by your key and you should be able to easily find the appropriate data.

Hello,
this idea would work, but the documents that I would create into any of that databases could be visible by the user, and any views could contain that docs. The documents that I copy to any X-databases contains meta data of a component. So I have to use profile documents. Now I’m searching for a key.
greetings.
