Domino does not do everything you need it to for the Web. Therefore, Domino developers have to rely on HTML, JavaScript and other web programming methods. However, using Embedded view and little bit of HTML, we can do some nice Web work using Domino. CODE: First, create a column in the view and give the following formula in the column. uid:=@Text(@DocumentUniqueID); "[ <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" name="Selection" value=""+uid+"" >]" It shows the check box and when users select the check box, it sets the unique ID in a field called 'Selection' on the form (where the view will be embedded). Create a form and embed the above view. Go to embedded view properties and select 'using HTML' for web access property. Then create a computed field called 'selection and allow multiple values.' Create a Lotus script agent 'delete documents' and paste the following script in the agent Dim session As New notessession Dim db As notesdatabase Dim doc,doc1 As notesdocument Dim doc2 As notesdocument Dim item,item1 As notesitem Set db = session.currentdatabase Set doc = session.documentcontext Set item = doc.GetFirstItem( 'Selection' ) Forall v In item.Values Set doc1 = db.getdocumentbyunid(Cstr(v)) Call doc1.remove(True) End Forall Specify the agent name in the web query save event of the form. Now open the form in the browser and select the docs by using the check boxes provided and submit it. You have to submit the form, and then the agent will pick up the unids of the docs and delete them one by one. You can also use the same method for updating the selected docs. It took a fair amount of time and help from my seniors to do this. I hope Domino developers will find this tip useful! http://searchdomino.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid4_gci550546,00.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ================================================= Sponsored By: ONLINE CORPORATE SOFTWARE ------------------------------------------------- *********** WIN AN IBM THINKPAD T21 ************* Online Corporate Software is giving away a brand new IBM Thinkpad T21.
