Thanks in advance

Tried the following code to open a navigator within the current database but I get a “Object variable not set” error. The spelling of the navigator is correct. Any idea why this doesn’t work?

Dim workspace As NotesUIWorkspace

Dim uidb As NotesUIDatabase

Set uidb = workspace.CurrentDatabase

Call uidb.OpenNavigator("Navigator Name")

The help file does not give an example of the opennavigator command.

You declared the workspace variable but you didn’t initiate it. I hope the terminology is right. Anyways, add the following line to you code in place of the workspace declaration.

Dim workspace as new NotesUIWorkspace
