@urlopen ==> "cannot execute the specified command"

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Dear All,

I have implemented a toolbar button whose click opens a form. In this form, I have an action hotspot which simply executes the following command:

@urlopen(“www.ibm.com”)

In Notes 7.0 (basic version), when I click on the hotspot to open the ibm site, I get the following error message:

“cannot execute the specified command”

However, if I directly write the @urlopen formula command in the action area of my toolbar button, the web browser is correctly opened.

Do you have any idea? Suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your support,

Mikaël Donini, Arkadin.

I tried what I think you’re doing (Action hotspot in a document) and it worked fine for me in 6.5

As for ideas… Try:

@urlopen(“http://www.ibm.com”)

Try Link Hotspot instead of an action hotspot if you’re going to a URL. (I’m gueesing this won’t work because you actually have more code.)

If there is more code make sure there are no “illegal” characters in the URL - e.g. spaces, quotes, & or ?

Thank you a lot for your answer. But your solution does not work.

I have additional information : in fact, my link hotspot is inside a table which is inside a form.

If I put the hotspot directly inside the form (but not inside a table), it works properly.

Do you know such a behaviour? Is it a bug? Is there a workaround?

I have tested and it works properly with Notes 8 : with this recent version, the link inside the table inside the form is correctly opened.

Thanks in advance for your help.

In fact, I have investigated a bit more. The exact problem description is the following:

when I open a form via the dialogbox method, then a click on a Link hotspot leads to the error message : “cannot execute the specified command”.

Here is the code to open my form:

dbx = uiw.DialogBox( “FormAlias” , True , True , False , False , False , False , “title”, doc , True , False, True )

If you have some idea to workaround, it would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Mikaël.
