have an application within frames in R6, and am trying to create an action button which, when a document is selected and the action button clicked, will create a response document in the designated frame. This should be easy, as I thought I’d just do something like:
@SetTargetFrame(“Right”);@Command([Compose];“Response”)
However, the @SetTargetFrame command seems to nullify the selected document and an error is returned that “No Document is Selected”.
This is on Windows 2K
Ideas?

Is the button in the outline or in the view/document?

The Action button is on the document.

You are facing a battle in that Notes does not think you have a document selected in which to create a response. The workaround is to create it using LotusScript:
Action Button on Form calls agent:
@SetTargetFrame(“main”);
@Command([ToolsRunMacro] ; “(Create Something)”)
Agent code:
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim db As Notesdatabase
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Set uidoc = ws.CurrentDocument
Dim parentDoc As NotesDocument
Set parentDoc = uidoc.Document
Call CreateResponsedoc(session, db, ws, parentDoc)
Sub CreateresponseDoc(session As NotesSession, db As NotesDatabase, ws As Notesuiworkspace, parentDoc As NotesDocument)
Dim responseDoc As NotesDocument
Set responseDoc = db.CreateDocument
Call responseDoc.MakeResponse( parentDoc )
responseDoc.Form = “FormName”
'Set your field values here if needed
…
Call responseDoc.Save( True, True )
Call ws.SetTargetFrame( “main” )
'Put the response document on the Front End
Call ws.EditDocument( True, responseDoc )
This will take care of your difficulties (at least it did for me:-) )
