Strange view behaviour

You were right!
I'm at a very early stage of learning Lotus, and formulas are really out of my scope at this time...but thanks anyway!

Can I ask one more question:

A page is showing an embedded view. If there is no record matching; e.g. if the view is empty, is there a way to display a standard page, view or whatever (I told You, I am very new at this...) that says like "no record found"?

Piggybacking questions eh...? Not done usually, for several good reasons:
- many small questions get a larger audience than one large question with many unrelated issues
- when others are klooking for solutions, they use the title of the question to decide whether to open the question or not

For this once, you get your free ride :)

Yes, you can do that, but you need to program that, with hide-when formulas:
- one line "No records found", hide-when formula:
    x:= @DbColumn("":"NoCache"; ""; "Your embedded viewname"; 1);
    @If(@Iserror(x); @False; @Trim(x)=""; @True; @False)
- the hide-when of your embedded view must then be set to
    x:= @DbColumn("":"NoCache"; ""; "Your embedded viewname"; 1);
    !@If(@Iserror(x); @False; @Trim(x)=""; @True; @False)
Note the exclamation mark at the beginning of the last line (it's the logical NOT operator)

Sorry for piggybacking...should I make a new question?
I think I will need a little more guidance with this!

The more I look at this, the more I suspect that the person who originally made this database was even less skilled than me...

- There is one view for each page.
- The size of this thing is almost 1GB.
And there is only about 150 documents.

Also extremely many subforms.

Oh, maybe I should tell You that it is a database with Hotels, Restaurants, Cottages and other vacation related places adapted for various disabled people.
The idea is:

Country -> County -> City -> POI (point of interest)

At the moment it's like I have to hard code things down to every city; I do think that this seems exceptionally lengthy !!!??
The web page is also very ugly..

Maybe You could be hired to restructure things?

I beg your pardon? 150 documents and 1 Gig? There must be a LOT of photographs in it, to get it that big. Since everything is hard-coded, it probably never happened that a view was empty :)

If you want me to have a quick look at the code (more is not allowed by EE rules), then
- make a copy of the database (without the documents!):
    File/Database/New Copy..., select Database design only, on your local disk
- close Notes
- zip the database
- mail it to me, you'll find my address in my EE-profile, somewhere in the middle

As you already said yourself, the database is poorly designed. Apparently, it's a Web-only database, but on the other hand I see no buttons to update a document from the web. The same form seems to be used in a browser. I suppose that, if the website is indeed for handicapped people, a special design could help them enormously. As you said, a database with 29 * 58 subforms can't be right...

There is too much to be done on the database to handle in a single question. There are two approaches possible:
- to attack one problem, convert the database, and attack the next problem
- complete redesign and conversion of the current database to the new one.

I'm sorry I don't have better options... :(
