Please can anyone help ? Or point me in the right direction…
How do I get an information message to appear on the form when a user saves the document. The message will let the user know the document is being submitted for review. I want the message to appear/disappear without the user clicking on OK to remove the message. Is this possible?
I don’t know any script or java
Thankyou

you can show the message box in Lotus script on the query save event of the form. I don’t think that you can disappear the message box without clicking ok.for example : you can write the following line of code on the query save event of the form.
msgbox “Form is being submitted for review”

If you don’t want an OK button or whatever, then I guess Messagebox / @Prompt routines are out (assuming this is in the Notes client, and not the web).
One alternative might be to somehow “delay” the document closing in the Queryclose event or something, and show a message on the face of the document itself, in an eye-catching way (you could do this with computed text or a computed-for-display field).
Otherwise, if you need another window open, I’d investigate some kind of NotesUIWorkspace.EditDocument call (I don’t think NotesUIWorkspace.Dialogbox will help, but you could try), which opens a temporary NotesDocument in the UI. The form used can then have a Postopen event (or similar) which closes the document after a NotesTimer interval (assuming you can have a document close itself… I suspect not, but worth a try).
If this is for the web, simply invoke some Javascript to open another window, then close it again.
As for this:

Well, now’s the time to learn, if you’re serious about development ;o)

Thanks,
I’ll speak to the Boss about training on script and Java !! (whilst keeping my fingers crossed !)
