U save and open the response doc.

If the doc ids on the main documents &nbsp;are stored in a separate field - e.g. &quot;myDocId&quot;, text, computed, @Text(@DocumentUniqueID) - you could inherit this field upon creation instead (store it in e.g. myParentsID).<br />
<br />
The technique is sometimes used as part in an effort to secure structural integrity: if response documents are cut/pasted to other parent doc's $Ref on the responses will change. Your inherited field however will still point to the original parent.

Hi...<br />
<br />
I have a discussion database &amp;&nbsp;when a user clicks to create a response , the $ref field has no value , so if the user wants to go back &amp;&nbsp;not create the reponse, they have to chose something from the menu ....<br />
<br />
is there no way to get the $ref field to compute immediately upon creation of the response document

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
