I’m adding Documents to a view via Visual Basic and the Domino object model, and I can’t figure out how to set the Document or “Entry” type in code.
By “type” I’m referring to the type set in the “View Selection” formula of views.

The word “type” has no meaning in the context you’ve given. Can you elaborate?

SELECT Type = “Person” …This is an example of a View Selection formula. I want to add a document and set it with the selection criteria as a “Type” person, so that it will show up in my “Person” view that has this selection criteria.

“Type”, in that instance, is not an intrinsic property of a Notes document. Rather, it is merely a field name, and the view’s selection formula selects all documents in the database bearing a field (NotesItem) named “Type” which contains the value “Person”.

ahhhhh…ok I feel dumb, I thought for sure that was in fact an intrinsic property. The whole non-relational database thing got to me.
I thought it had to be a property because it wouldn’t make sense being a field if it was just tied to one type of thing in the database…if that makes any sense to you…anyways thanks for your help.
