Special database object cannot be located

I have a Q&A database that allows a user to post questions. When the user clicks the submit button, they are prompted with the error “special database object cannot be located”

The submit button simply closes and saves the document. I have a formula in the querysave option that reads as follows:

@MailSend(user@work.com; “”; “”; “New Question”; “You may view and respond to the question by clicking in this link. .”; “”; [INCLUDEDOCLINK])

The document is saved, but the email is never generated. Any suggestions.

If you remove IncludeDoclink does it work? Do you have a Default Form defined in your Q&A database?

Yes - there is a default formYes - the email msg is generated without a link to the question when removing the INCLUDEDOCLINK parameter.

The formula works great on another database. There is something that I’m overlooking but I cant put my finger on it.

since it works without the IncludeDoclink flag it sounds like it’s got something to do with the doc not being saved so the doclink is not yet available.

More to the point – is there a default VIEW? If I recall correctly, you can’t create a doclink without one.

It was the default view that was not defined. It works great now. Thanks to you both!!
