Send the view name to an agent via an action button

I’ve been playing around with this for a while, but other than sending the link via HTML and using a querystring, I cant seem to get it to work.

I have an agent that exports a view to excel. Now I also have like 10 different views I want this functionality in. The problem is that I have a hardcoded value for the view name in the agent. Is there a way to find out what view the agent was called from and use it in the agent?

I’ve also tried to use a notesuiview, but the uiview object doesnt contain what I need, and when I try to set my view = uiview, it says type mismatch.

edit Nevermind. Viewing this i realised I messed up my variable names. “uiviewvw” and “uiview”…

Thanks for your help

Here is the code of relevance

Dim s As New NotesSession

Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace



'Notes initialization

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim vw As NotesView

Dim vc As NotesViewEntryCollection

Dim entry As NotesViewEntry	

Set db = s.CurrentDatabase



Dim uiviewvw As notesuiview

Set uiviewvw = ws.currentview



Set vw = uiview.view

It cuts off at set vw = uiview.view saying variant does not contain an object.

Perhaps I can’t reference the view like this?

Should not the line that says:

Set vw = uiview.view

read

Set vw = uiviewvw.view
