Error: database hasnt been opened yet.
Posted on 2001-09-05
Hello
My problem is the following.
I want to create a database out of a template file. because i have to create like 20 databases i have written a little program.
But i get the message
"database databasename hasn't been openened yet"
I have tried template.Open("","Template
But this didn't solve it.
How can i make it work.
I have used the following code:
Dim template As New NotesDatabase( "", "Templates/" + doc.Template(0))
Dim brandNewDb As NotesDatabase
Set brandNewDb = template.CreateFromTemplat
brandNewDb.Title = doc.Titel(0)
Thank you very much

I hope it is your "/" which is causing the problem.
The path is referred by backslash "\"
Dim template As New NotesDatabase( "", "Templates\" + doc.Template(0))
Dim brandNewDb As NotesDatabase
Set brandNewDb = template.CreateFromTemplat
brandNewDb.Title = doc.Titel(0)

Yes, as Hermantha said, the backslash is part of the problem,
However the specific error you're getting is that you have to OPEN the database before you attempt to create a document in it.
So, the code should look like this:
Dim template As New NotesDatabase( "", "Templates\" + doc.Template(0))
Dim brandNewDb As New NotesDatabase("","")
brandNewdb.open( Server, Map +"\" + doc.Database(0))
if brandNewdb.IsOpen then
brandNewDb.Title = doc.Titel(0)
else
messagebox "Database could not be opened"
end if
or, you could do it this way:
Dim brandNewDb As New NotesDatabase("","")
if (brandNewdb.Open( Server, Map +"\" + doc.Database(0))) then
brandNewDb.Title = doc.Title(0)
else
messagebox "Database could not be opened"
end if
If you still get the error, then check to make sure that the person running the code has permission to open the database.
Try this and see if it works,

The user doesn't know that he was asking a silly question and when pointed out felt it is not worth grading this question (as it doesn't cost them anything) so this is left to the moderators discretion.
Hope it helps you.
