Domino Formula: dblookup query not returning results

Asked by captainreiss in Lotus Domino Email Server, Lotus Notes

Hi

i am having a real dense day and as time pushes along I need some quick help on the formula I created.

I have a need to use a button to populate a field with names from a particular group in the directory. When I use the code below the choices appear but the field is not populated. Field exists and has correct properties.
So I wonder what's going awry...?

thanks capt.Start Free Trial
