A customer said that when submitting a document, the email was sent but the status was not updated on the form.




At first I thought the customer was mad, but on closed tinkering I found a problem with Notes 7.03 and 6.5

A form with an embedded view is fine, but if a sub document i(which will display in the embedded view) is composed then saved and the embedded view is refreshed with a "@postedcommand([ViewRefreshViews])" the main form action button which updates status will not work.

I had a button that just set a field's value and it would not do it.

 

How I resolved this after consorting with colleagues was to write it all in lotusscript.

Very annoying though.

If you get this sort of problem, I suggest using lotusscript with embedded views.
