I’m trying to create a personal view in a db that uses a Document Library template (simple db that contains Main documents and responses). Is there a way to create a view, that if a certain person (ie. Mike) responded to the main document, the view would hide the main document and all the responses. Basically, the view would only show unanswered main docs and their responses. I have created a view that will hide the individual responses by “Mike”, but am unsure how to hide all associated documents with the response by “Mike”. Is there a way to accomplish this? Lotusscript perhaps?

Hi Tatum,
I think what you need to do here is use Reader fields. Once a response document in created you will need to remove the user from the reader field and update the parent document to the same effect. You can do this in LS quite easily.
The only problem I see is getting the Reader field to have the proper list of initial people who will need to access the Main document. Once you overcome this though it would simply be a matter of removing the user who creates a response. Then the documents will not show in the view for them.
HTH.
