I have a form that is to be used on the web with an embedded view that has ‘Display’ parameter set to ‘Using HTML’. Everything works as desired.But now I need to use a different form than the one that is defined in the document itself, when the document from the embedded view clicked and opened . My first idea was to use Form Formula of the embedded view but it apparently does not work if the ‘Display’ is set to ‘Using HTML’.
Could I ask for an idea how to solve that? Thanks in advance for any hint.
Subject: Switch form on the web
I’ve had a similar problem. I used the “Treat view contents as HTML” and customized the links in so they would open the document from the view with the form formula, like this:http://Host/Database/View/Document?OpenDocument
This way the form that is used is the one specified in the form formula of the view. The problem with this is that you need to know a little html in order to make your view show up correctly, but its basically just adding html tags in your column formulas. For example the column formula with the link to the document would look something like this:
“<a href=”"http://Host/Database/MyView/" + @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) + “?OpenDocument">” + FieldToDisplay + “”
You’d also need to wrap the embedded view in some table html tags.

Thanks Ernesto for your fast reply. It helped me to realize that the URL I am using is not actually referencing to a view that contains a form formula but to generic view (‘0’).Now it is fixed and all works as required. Thanks again.
