Passing arguments when creating a new document
From a document opened, I want a buttom to create a new document in another database on the same server, but I want to have a link to the new document, in order to associate the two documents. I do prefer to create the new document and have the possibility to edit that new form. I did try with @Command([compose];), but I do not know how to pass the link. Please assist.
Well, unless you dont save the current document you cannot pass the document link to the other database...
Hi there !
Try this code. This will save the current Document and create a link in the target database. You cannot do a link without saving the current document. Thats why this approach.
Change all the values and just put it under a button.
Good Luck!

Dim ss As New notessession
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim tardb As NotesDatabase
Dim curDoc As NotesDocument
Dim tarDoc As NotesDocument
Dim rtitem As NotesRichTextItem
Set db = ss.CurrentDatabase
Set tardb = New NotesDatabase( ss.CurrentDatabase.Server , "data\am174\webtest.nsf") ' Change the path for new database
Set curDoc = db.CreateDocument
curDoc.Form = "Test" 'The name of the form that you are composing....
Call curDoc.Save(True,False)
Set tarDoc = tardb.CreateDocument
tarDoc.Form = "Test1" ' The form name in the target database
Set rtitem = New NotesRichTextItem(tardoc , "Body" ) ' Body is the Field that contains the doc link
Call rtitem.AppendDocLink(curDo
Call tarDoc.Save(True , False)
Set uidoc = ws.EditDocument(True , curDoc , False , "" )

What i am doing in the code is...
Create a document "A" and save it.
Create a document "B" with doclink in the second database pointing to document "A".
Now open document "A" in edit mode as if you are composing the document.
If you wish to cancel the opened document its not possible now since there is already a document pointing to this one and this one is already saved.

Sorry for the delay. I was not on my workplace. I will let you know. But I want something like this. Just imagine that you are filling a person record. Then, you want to add dependant records. Those records should be linked to the person record. Then, if I want to open a person record, I can be able to access its dependant records.
