Opening a custom form in an iNotes 8.5 lite Memo scene

What I’d like to achieve is that documents that have been created with my custom mail form are displayed in iNotes 8.5 in Full Mode with the s_MailMemo scene and in Lite mode with the Lite scene Memo.

In Forms85.nsf in the Forms map table (View System\Forms), I added the name of my custom form to the document where the Memo, Personal Stationery … forms are defined. So the values are l_SetEditScene=l_StdPageEdit;

l_SetReadScene=l_StdPageRead; l_SubFormPrefix=l_MailMemo

But unlike a “regular” memo that is opened in scene s_MailMemo (Full mode) and scene Memo (Lite mode), documents using my custom form are always opened in scene s_MailMemo (Full and Lite mode).

What am I missing?

As always any help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Veit

Subject: Try this

Do you set the s_NotesForm field when you save/send a document that uses your custom form? If not, try setting it to the name of your custom form (ie. what you entered in the first column in the Forms Map table).

You can set the s_NotesForm field by adding a PresetFields arg to the URL that saves your document like this:

…&PresetFields=s_NotesForm;your_custom_form_name

You may also be able to achieve what you want by doing this:

&PresetFields=s_NotesForm;Memo

and then you wouldn’t need to add anything to the Forms Map table.
