Nonexistent frame or frameset specified

I’m working in a newly-created notes database. After I perform any type of sort function and then click on any of the buttons within the database I receive the error “Nonexistent frame or frameset specified.” I’m running Notes 6.0.1 & Windows XP. Anyone know how to resolve this?

Me too.No problem if just one frameset.

I specified a frameset which include only one form. And from the form I can click the “Go” button to enter into another frameset. “Nonexistent frame or frameset specified” appeared and next time it is normal again.

Close my notes and reopen it solve the problem.

Is it a bug of Notes5.0, 6.0?

Try to add ws.SetTargetFrame(“XXXX”)

before your openFrameSet method.

I 'd test it on my machine today, I don’t know if it works tomorrow. (:

notes can open the same frame set once when it is opened and replaced with another… intersting pont… opening and closing notes fixes the problem and if you try to run DEBUG, it will NSD.

The solution is unknown to me right now… I am working on seeing a way around that. they has to be a way to open and and replace a current frameset with another without having to do that.

Hi Chris - sorry if I got your hopes up but I haven’t got a solution for you. Actually, I’m having a similar problem. I have a bookmark to a database which is used purely to navigate between a set of related databases. This Navigation database is comprised purely of pages and framesets - there are no documents stored in this databases. The pages contain action hotspots which either take the user to another frameset/page, or into a different database. Every so often, the action hotspots stop working and start giving me that ‘Nonexistent frame or frameset specified’. There doesn’t seem to be any particular thing which causes this, but the only way to fix it seems to be to close down Notes, delete cache.ndk and open Notes again. After doing this, all the action hotspots work fine again. I tried opening the database using the ‘Open Database’ dialogue in case it was a problem with the bookmark but this didn’t work either.

This isn’t a huge problem, but it’s kinda irritating so was wondering if there was any way to stop it from happening? It doesn’t seem to happen at all with Notes 5.

I am running 6.01 on Windows 2000 sp3.

Look forward to any suggestions that anyone has.

Emily.

I have found an intresting point.

I have designed a database wich where used in a webbrowser. When i designed the Database i copied a view from the mailtemplate. after that i delete all the Actions etc. So the view holds only columns.

Then when i open the Database (the view) in the Webbrowser i got the error:

“HTTP Web Server: Lotus Notes Exception - Nonexistent frameset specified.”

I search the hole properties from the view but didn’t find any problem. The “AutoFrame”-property show nothing.

But when i look in the Designinfos from the View i found the follwing hidden Field in the View:

Field Name: $FrameInfo

Data Type: Text List

Data Length: 21 bytes

Seq Num: 10

Dup Item ID: 0

Field Flags: SIGN SUMMARY

“MailFS”

“NotesView”

As you can see it holds the values for the Frame wich the view should open.

It seems this Field cause my trouble. After switching in the AutoFrame-propertiy to a frame an back to none the field was cleared and all works fine.

Maybe some of you have the same problem.

Thanks for your tip.

My problem would happen after I created a form that LEI used for a real time read. After viewing the results, I would receive the “Nonexistent Frame or frameset specified”.

This form did not have the $FrameInfo on it. So I set the AutoFrame-propertiy. So far I seem to help the problem.

Subject: Nonexistent frame or frameset specified - Solution

Based on the various responses here I tried to trap the error - no luck as this does not throw an error code. I DID discover while trying to get around this issue that if you do the following after opening the frameset you can avoid the issue.

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Call workspace.OpenFrameSet(“your frameset name here”)

On Error 4414 Resume Next

Call workspace.SetTargetFrame( Nothing )

Whatever causes the problem seems to be reset when the error is trapped and ignored. This fix/workaround was developed and tested on R6.0.2 under XP.

Hope this helps,

Adrian

Subject: FIXED!! Nonexistent frame or frameset specified - Solution

If you are using an outline as your side nav…verify that the launch properties match the frameset to you want to use.

Subject: RE: FIXED!! Nonexistent frame or frameset specified - Solution

I found my own solution to this. I couldn’t just add Nothing to the following line, or the actual name of my frame. Both caused errors.

But if I pass in “” then it works without error.

Call workspace.SetTargetFrame( “”)

I am having the same problem, in both 5.0.11and 6.0.2CF1

Closing and opening notes fixes the problem
