Load other database in database frame

Hello,

I could not find my answer on this site yet so there for my question;

I’m building a database. I have now 2 frames. One “top” and one “main”. Simple :wink: When pressing a button in the topframe i want to load another database in te main-frame.

If i load another database it opens a new window/screen.

For the link i use an “hotspot retangle” using a formula;

server := (“…”);

db := @GetProfileField(“…” ;“…”);

@Command([FileOpenDatabase]; server : db ; “”;“”;“0”;“”)

Is there a way to open this second database in the mainframe of my first database?

Thanks!

Try using javascript. Something similar to thise will work.

Server = “”

DB = “mail/mwagner.nsf”

Element = “MailFS”

Type = “Frameset”

Url = “Notes://” + Server + “/” + DB + “/” + Element + “?Open” + Type

parent.Main.location = Url

Thanks for so far! It’s getting better but still won’t work.

I’m using now this

Server = “SERVER1/My Company”

DB = “database.nsf”

Element = “wheredoiusethisfor”

Type = “main”

Url = “Notes://” + Server + “/” + DB + “/” + Element + “?Open” + Type

parent.main.location = Url;

Where do i use the element for?

I also tried;

parent.main.location.href = Url;

and also

Server = “SERVER1\My Company”

&

Server = “SERVER1//My Company”

@settargetframe is not working by the way. It can’t be used to open database. Only for pages en views, or so the “help” says.

Regards,

Mick

You are on the right track but dont use the full name of your server. For instance

Server = “SERVER1” : Shoud include just the server name. If you want to open local then leave blank (i.e. Server = “”)

DB = “database.nsf” : This is ok. Use the full file path in relation to your data path. For instance the if the database is in a directory under the data directory like “Test”, then the database reference should be “Test/Database.nsf”.

Element = “wheredoiusethisfor” : Should be the name or alias of the object you want to open. For instance if you want to open the inbox of a mail datbase then the element would be “($inbox)”.

Type = “main” : the Type parameter should be either view, folder, frameset, page. Whatever the element type is.

Url = “Notes://” + Server + “/” + DB + “/” + Element + “?Open” + Type

The following is javascript code that can be placed in the javascript window for the client in a button or hotspot.

parent.main.location = Url;

The “main” reference in the above statement is the name of the Frame within the frameset you want to open the element in.
