Hi All

I need help displaying a dialog form that gets values from a document when selected from an embedded view. Where can I find information on this? Has anyone done this before? Thanks for any help.

Of course, many have done this

first, in the view’s queryopendocument,

you must put code like:

Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim db as NotesDatabase

Set dc = Source.Documents

If Not dc Is Nothing Then

If dc.count = 1 Then

Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument

set db = doc.ParentDatabase

Set dialogdoc = db.CreateDocument

'copy the fields to the dialogdoc

'call dialog window

If ws.DialogBox ( “dialogDocumentField”, True, True, False, False, False, False, “Edit this” , DialogDoc, True, False ) = False Then

Exit Sub

End If

'copy the fields to the main doc, if needed

doc.Save(False, True)

End If

End If

Continue = False
