Opening 2 views in the same database in R6

This works in Note client R6.0.2CF1

In R5, Shift “right click” on a database icon allowed you to open more than one view in a database. This no longer works under R6, but we can still get 2 views in the same db open if we use a view link. It’s a few extra steps, but works everytime. In the procedure below, I put a view link in a temporary memo, but any RTF field can be used:

To open views A and B in a database Db:

  1. Open Db view A

  2. Select Edit, Copy As Link, View Link

  3. Keep Db view A open, and paste the view link in an RTF field, such as a temp memo

  4. Go back to Db and select view B

  5. Go back to temp memo and click the view link for view A

  6. Both views A and B in Db should be open

If anyone knows an alternative procedure for R6 please post. Thanks.

In ND6, you can have seevral views opened at the same time on the same database by using target frames.Make sure to create different frameset, use @SetTargetFrame and other framing commands, and you can open as many views at the same time as you want, providing they open in a different frame.

you can ‘drag’ a view to the bookmar bar and open it by clicking on the newly added icon. The icon can easily be removed by a right-button click.

Thanks! This approach is quicker.
