Hi,
We have a database whereby a large number of documents have a “body” field which has been flagged as hidden from web browsers. we need a way to remove that flag via an agent or I will be spending many unproductive hours going through each document and unchecking the “hide from web browser” checkbox on each document.
I’ve tried to find a way to do this, but I just can’t figure out how I can get to the “hidden from” controls programmatically.
Has anyone run into this situation before? Thanks for any assistance!!!

Not programatically as far as I know - at least not in LotusScript.
You might look at TeamStudio Configurator, which does find and find-replace for strings in Notes documents or DESIGN ELEMENTS.
Search for “Body” in all your Forms and SubForms, and each instance will open the form in a pop-up where you can edit that form directly, then continue to find the next occurrence.
Configurator is poorly named, but totally great to have. This sounds like a good excuse to get it!

Thanks, Brian, I’ll look into that. I’ve also heard that a software called MIDAS can assist with this type of thing on Rich Text fields as well. But I’ll definitely give TeamStudio a look as well…

You ought to be able to do it using DXL as well. Export one or more samples of the affected docs to a file first so that you can see what you’ll need to modify.
