Update computed field in backend

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’ve searched this forum for 2 days and found a lot of posts about this issue without a definite answer.

I’ve a form with 3 fields A,B,C … A,B fields are editable fields I set in agent. Field C is a computed field: C=A+B

I create a document in backend:

Set doc = db.CreateDocument

doc.fieldA = 5

doc.fieldB = 2

Call timeDoc.ComputeWithForm(True,True)

Call doc.Save(False,True)

The problem is, that when i open my form for the first time, I don’t see the C field computed. I have to resave the form. Then it’s ok.

Any idea, how to update it in backend?

Add the line below to your code, when saving doc for the first time.

doc.fieldC = doc.fieldA(0) + doc.fieldB(0)

Yadzi,

thx a lot for your response … However the ComputeWithForm function suddenly start to work for me … I’ve tested it 20 times before and it was not, now it is. Don’t ask me, how is this possible. I think, it’s time for a good beer. This is not the only thing I managed to solve today ;o)
