Any ideas how to fix this? I checked the fix list database but there is no mention of ‘Compose’ in any of the later releases of Notes.
Server is 6.0. Client is 6.0.1. User has Manager Access.
It looks like the database is going to open (workspace icon is depressed) then the client crashes with the ‘NSD is running’ message, without opening the specified form.

Subject: Toolbar button with formula @Command([Compose];“Server”:“Database”;“Form”) crashes 6.0.1 client (nsd)
From the designer documentation:
“When the command is used to compose main documents, a database icon must be selected, but the database itself does not have to be open. This command does not put a database icon on the desktop.”
Indeed, if I select the database icon first, the form opens correctly, but (a) A crash really isn’t an acceptable response to any oversight on the part of the user, and (b) Having to select the database icon makes the Server and Database parameters unnecessary, and lessens the convenience of a toolbar button?!?

Hi Paul,
I’ve reproduced this problem, only from the workspace with no db icon selected or open - can you confirm this is the context where you are having the problem?
I will submit a defect report for the crash in this case. Having to select a database icon does not make the Server and Database parameters unnecessary - you can select any db icon, and the doc in the specified database will be created. You can work around this by putting @Command([FileOpenDatabase]) before the @Command([Compose])

Hi Vin,
Thanks for the reply.
I can confirm that the crash occurs only when there are no db icons selected. If you select any db icon before using the specified command, there is no crash.
I think what you’re saying is that the server and database parameters do work as you would expect (compose in specified database regardless of db selected) but the crash is limiting their functionality for the moment (as far as composing a doc without first selecting a db is concerned)?

Paul.

Hi Paul,
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.
