Hi

I am trying to open file resource in notes client thru lotuscript by entering the /Databasename.nsf/FileName.html?OpenFileResource, but it is not opening it up. It gives msg File Not Exist.

Please suggest what I am doing wrong

Thanks

HTMLFilePath="/databasename.nsf/HTMLFileName.html?openfileresource"I am using uidoc.import(“HTML File”, HTMLFilePath). And HTMLFile is already there in Shared Resources-Files

If I use HTMLFilePath=“C:\temp\filename.html” then it is very well picking it up. but it is not picking from .nsf.

“/databasename.nsf/HTMLFileName.html?openfileresource” is not a file name. It’s the URI of a resource to be retrieved using HTTP. This can never work.

You could try your luck with DXL, as Andrei suggested, but if you want to use this piece of HTML as a kind of stationary, it would be a heck of a lot easier to simply store it in a document. However, the uidoc.Import method will always only work with files on disk, so you had to detach it anyway.

I am not sure if it is possible to programmatically show “Image/File Insert” dialog box. Even if it was possible, I doubt that you could specify a resource as parameter.

A solution can be to use DXL functionality and create a temporary document containing embedded file/image resource. Then (programmatically) open the temp document in UI, copy the body field from there into clipboard and then paste the clipboard’s content to the current document.

if you are trying to open resoures that should reside in your database if else you will get the message what you said…
