Object Variable Not Set

I have a problem and I can’t figure this out. A specific user is experiencing an object variable not set error when saving a document. In the PostSave event, I have the following code snippet:

Sub Postsave(Source As Notesuidocument)

Dim ns As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim nc As NotesDocumentCollection

Dim responsedoc As NotesDocument

Dim item As NotesItem



Set db = ns.CurrentDatabase

Set nc = Source.Document.Responses



If (nc.count <> 0) Then

The error happens on the last line. The ns (session), db (database), and Source (uidoc) are set, but for some reason, it can’t get a collection (nc). Given the fact that the other variables are set, why would it fail to set nc?

It only happens to a specific user. I deleted their cache.ndk, bookmark.nsf, and removed/re-added the database bookmark, but none of these helped.

I assume the document does have some responses?

Does it have a reader’s field that would make it invisible to that user?

The security tab in the response document maybe is not at “Reader’s and above”

The document doesn’t always have responses, but if it doesn’t, it still returns a collection of 0 documents (hence the check to ensure the collection <> 0).

However, the problem was with a reader’s field. Thanks!

From the help on responses:

Note This property is not available for a new document, and will return Nothing. The document must be closed and reopened before the property is available.

Is this the cause? You need to check whether this is a newly saved doc otherwise it won’t work
