A user gets emailed a url something like this:
http://www.myweb.com/uploads.nsf/Upload?OpenForm&ref=8FC95667A5AE6E7F8525772F007F7CFD
When they click the URL thus opening the form, a webqueryopen agent in lotus script runs and does lookups based on that ref uuid and copies over fields into the new doc the user is composing on the web.
I save the doc right away.
However, some computed for display fields that I want showing – never display the data that in theory was received.
I have come across two differing pieces of advice:
"The WebQueryOpen is executed
when your document is already opened by the user," ( http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/46dom.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/bb36f8952eddc25a85256a1b00379bbd?OpenDocument)
which would imply that what I’m trying to do isn’t going to work – the data population is happening too late for when I need it.
Help, though, says, “A WebQueryOpen event runs the agent before Domino converts a document to HTML and sends it to the browser.”
This implies the opposite: that before the user even sees the form in their web browser, my data population has occured via the agent, and that therefore there ought to be no issues with displaying some of the info via computed for display fields.
I know the agent is working fine; I can see all the fields that came over into the new doc saved, in Notes.
It is likely just a question of the timing on the web; any help appreciated. Cheers.
