I’m trying to create a ‘simple’ view in my iNotes mailfile that opens a ‘simple’ version of the memo form, and I’m failing.
I’ve found where iNotes is forcing the frameset for the Inbox folder and for the $All view, but for the life of me I cannot find where iNotes is forcing the use of the Memo form.
It seems to override form formulas, and even setting the default form to the simple version. No matter what I try, it seems that we only get the Memo form.
However, take the same simple view and simple form to a different database, and it opens the simple version without a problem.
Can anyone point me at where in the code it’s forcing the Memo form?

Hi Rob,had the same problem. Once you add &ui=webmail iNotes cedes control and the regular Domino rendering task takes over. Then form formulas will work.
After posting this question over six months ago, I’ve continued to play with the iNotes template.
The reason for all this is to get the template to play nicely on a PDA or SmartPhone. The problem is that the built-in browsers on these devices can’t handle the Javascript …
Turns out the real solution to my original problem boils down to two things:
First, virtually any view or folder you want to open in the iNotes template gets opened via a $$ViewTemplate, and there’s a $$ViewTemplate Default that was the direct cause of the heartburn I’d mentioned in my original post.
By creating a ‘simple’ view, and then creating a simple $$ViewTemplate for that view, suddenly the Javascript errors went away.
Secondly, the trick that Stephan mentioned solves the rest of the problem. Add &ui=webmail to the URLs you build.
I’ve got this slightly better documented (and a sample to play with) here:
