Personalised field.

In my notes app I'm sending a document as an attachment to a bunch of users. In the document
I have a field called "TO" which should have the name of the person that recieved the email.
I do I code this field so that when a person recieves the document the Field "TO" contains their name.

So what is the problem here ?

Simply make it a computed field , with @UserName as the default value formula

I did but it does not show the user's name...It shows the senders name.

HemanthaKumar

Do you include this form while sending the mail ?

Can you give more details on how you are sending this mail.. If you can store the form with mail then you can see that field computing by itself when he/she opens.

p_partha

Create a computed when composed field name and give @username as the default value

I'm send the mail using a simple action.
the action takes the values from a text box and sends the mail
to the users specified in the text box.

ASKER

ok this is what I think I need to do

ASKER

ok this is what I think I need to do

Read the users name from the text box
and go through a loop for each user
For each user name in the text box
Change the TO field
Send Email.

The user names are sperated by ";" How would I be able to accomplish this loop code?

p_partha

I am not sure what u are trying to accomplish, but to loop thru a field of names separated by ";" u can use forall.
Forall x in <yourfieldname>
msgbox x
end forall

in formula language please?

p_partha

there are no looping mechanism in formulas uptil R5, but u can always use

@explode(<yourfieldname>;";"), this will give u the list of all the names

Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim composed As String
Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
Users = uidoc.FieldGetText( "Users" )

Forall x In Users
Set a field "TO"
Send the document as an email to the person in TO field
End Forall

End Sub

apparition

ASKER

whats the code to Send the document as an email to the person in the TO field

apparition

ASKER

The Loop worked

p_partha

what is that "To" needs to be set, it has to be set to the value in Users

if htat is teh case

Forall x in users
doc.to = x
doc.sendto = x
end forall

apparition

ASKER

I just used
Call doc.Send( True, x)

It works but theres one last problem. Sorry.
But for some reason when I open the email from my notes client the
User set headers Don't show. Is theres parameter I'm forgetting to set?

p_partha

can u be little clear, what do u mean by "user set headers don't show"
