When building a view panel, if I have a view name that has a “&” in its name, the data binding tab stops working. I click the drop-down to choose a column to bind my current column to, and it briefly flickers “Working …” then nothing. I’ve noted this before in this post but never got any responses: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/5a2b8d8c6107123e85257704005f3161?OpenDocument
Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me? I suppose I can use the source pane, but really …
Is this fixed in 8.5.2? Or is this a permanent problem?
Thanks.
Subject: I have a similar bug with forms
which will be fixed very soon, but not in 8.5.2. We’ll take a look at views at the same time.
It won’t be a permanent problem, for sure. Wish I had seen your earlier post, but I missed it before.
Subject: The earlier post related to slighly different problems
Thanks Maureen, my earlier post related to having Dbs in folders that contained “&” in their name. If I recall, you couldn’t bind to any views as data sources if there was “&” anywhere in the Db Path. And the “_” issue with views has been sporadic. I’ve found that putting the code in try/catch blocks sometimes forces it to work.
I’m reassured to see that the IBMers are monitoring this forum more closely now.
Thank-you again.
