Is a xPage document nothing but a “shell” for a regular notes form?I have a in production db and I’m trying some xpages stuff with it (safely of course) and I’m not having much success.

One thing question I have… if I create a xPage document and tie it to a Notes Form. Do I have to import all the fields from the form into the xPage document?

If not, what happens when…say alot of hidden fields to regulate the work flow of the document is not in the Xpage but in the Notes Form you link to?

When the xPage is submitted are those hidden fields processed still?

Subject: You have two choices

You can either create your hidden fields using server side javascript and a save event on the datasource. Or, you can use the computewithform property to compute all the fields on the underlying Notes form (onsave setting or both).

Subject: So the easiest

I pretty sure I get where your goins…So using computewithform is done when the xPage is saved? (if I understand you correctly).
