I have database with a special view (no categories, no hidden columns) called “spread sheet”. We use it to export the data from the view with File / Export / then CSV format. Now, a new very cool tool has appeared in R6 called “Copy selected as table”.
Well, but it is crashing the Notes client in this view (with about 140 columns!), saying “NSD is running…”. Is it an overflow problem???
I don’t have any problem with other views / databases.
Subject: Notes client crash when using “Copy selected as Table”
Stefan,
It IS a cool tool, but IMHO is highly impractical for the sort of stuff that we typically do with spreadsheets. Once you get the results of a spreadsheet imported back into a table in a rich text field, it’s nearly impossible to use the values. I prefer to use OLE classes to move data between a Notes document and, say an Excel sheet. That allows me to programatically direct the inputs and outputs and also to store the data in text fields, which store data more efficiently than rich text fields and can be accessed more easily.
