Please bare with me as this is pretty long.
I have a shipping order application where users can issue releases of a blanket shipping order. They click a button and enter some preliminary information into a dialog box. The lotuscript behind the scenes creates a document object (we’ll call this DOC) and captures all of the dialogbox entries. One of those entries is for the blanket shipping order(we’ll call this BLANKET). BLANKET is retrieved and the appropriate field values are copied to DOC. BLANKET also has response documents that are the shipping items (we’ll call these B-Items. The lotuscript cycles through the B-Items creating corresponding response documents to DOC (we’ll call these D-Items). Once all of the D-Items are created, DOC is opened with the workspace.dsEditDocument(True,DOC) routine. So far, so good.
The default rights on the database are Author with Create and Delete Document. The problem comes in when the D-Item documents are opened. They are supposed to be editable, but are not. During the creation of D-Items, the current user is copied to the D-Items Author field. If you open any of the D-Item documents, no field on the document is editable, even though there are many editable fields on the document.
I sort of at a loss as to why you can’t edit those documents, if anyone can shed some light, I’d appreciate it.
