PickListCollection shows empty View

Hello,

I show a PickListCollection via LotusScript with a Single Category. The category exists and somtimes the Dialogue shows up in a correct manner. But in most cases it is just empty. I guess, that it must have sth. to do with the notes version, because prior updgrading to 7.0.2 we never had this problem.

Is there any known bug or any other suggestion of what might be wrong?

Here is the corresponding LOC:

Set dc = ws.PickListCollection( PICKLIST_CUSTOM ,True, db.Server ,db.FilePath, “OutMaschKNr”, msg(“CSOSelectMachineTitle”) , _

msg("CSOSelectMachine"),Cstr(doc.Kundennummer(0)))

Edit:

Seems that the error only occurs locally…

Regards

Christian

For you information:

I could reproduce this error on 7.0.1 and 7.0.3 but not on 6.0.3 and 6.5.3.

I think we will make a call at IBM/Lotus.

I’m having the same problem (running 7.0.3). However, when the empty list shows up, if I click on Shift “+” to expand all categories, and then type the first few letters of the category that is supposed to display and press Enter, I then see all the documents.

If I change the target view to expand all documents, then the PickListCollection works fine. The only thing that still does not work is that columns lose the sort option… weird.

Hi,I had the same effect, only on local.

But I found the solution:

  • go to first document on open instead of last opened document

  • don’t collapse on open

  • and maybe don’t maintain unread marks

Christian,

Well unless there is a replica of the lookup database on your local, you’re probably going to get an error from local every time… or you can change your code so that if the server is “” then lookup using a different server/filepath. I’m assuming of course that db is set to be the current database and you’re determining server based on the current database’s server.

Hope this helps.
