Hi, One user is getting the above error message while trying to save a new document.He is having Author access to database with create document access.Earlier he was able to save document.All of a sudden this issue happened today.

From current document, it is creating another documnet.And new document is having an author field also.And it is taking value from current document.

if i am trying to save document in Debugging mode,document is getting saved although with same error message.

Error is happening in uidoc.Save()

Can any one help with this issue?

Thanks in Advance

When I’ve gotten this problem, it’s normally because I’m updating the Author field and once it goes to save the document… I’m not listed as an author - maybe as a result of a calculation.

You need to make sure on the new document they are listed as an author.

How are you creating the new document? In Lotus Script? How is the Author Field being set? Maybe you need to do a ComputeWithForm?

Set movement = session.CurrentDatabase.createDocumentmovement.form = “Stock Movement”

movement.RequestedBy = dummy.RequestedBy

Dim item As NotesItem

Set item = movement.ReplaceItemValue ( “Author”, dummy.RequestedBy )

Item.IsAuthors = True

dummy is current form

movement is new form

RequestedBy is author field in current form and it’s value is not in cannonical format.I have read in forum that author field should in cannonical format.Why it is creating issue in some cases

also I am able to save new form.Issue comes when i am calling

uidoc.save() that is the current form

Is there a formula in the author field in the form? Could that be changing the value of author and thus you no longer have the rights to the document?
