Strange experience with Formula/@ Commands

Hi,I have the following code on a outline which is embedded in a page and displayed in a Frameset.

Outline Entry - Computed Label.

Type Action - Value Computed

Source:

DB := “”;

View := “LookupView”;

Key := “Link to spreadsheet Document”;

ColumnNumber := 2;

ScopeDoc:=@DbLookup(“”:“NoCache” ; DB; View; Key; ColumnNumber);

@URLOpen(ScopeDoc);

@Command( [AttachmentLaunch]);

@Command([FileCloseWindow]);

@Command( [WindowMinimizeAll])

Value of the lookup is like:

notes://ServerName/Folder/SubFolder/NotesDatabase.nsf/E81BBB78FBCB1F7680257CF3003AA2ED/DA79D591C287E028802575FB0054721C?OpenDocument

In Notes 7 and earlier clients, the result is expected, e.g when you click on the outline, the document opens.

But in Notes 8.0.1 Client, the following happens:

  1. The document opens.

  2. An extra Lotus Notes Client is opened.

  3. The client cannot be correctly controlled, I have to end task it.

  4. I Beleive an extra task, nlnotes.exe, is running in Windows Task Manager (as well as notes2w.exe

Any idea on resolution?

Subject: Possible Workaround

What I would try is to create an agent in lotusscript which will retrieve the doc then the attachment and open it and in the outine use "@Command([ToolsRunMacro];“myAgent”) to run it.

I have never tried to run an agent from an outline entry, so I’m not sure this part will work, but the one in lotusscript surely does.

Hope this helps
