Action to only run when on response doc -- not parent doc...
Hello All,
How do I make my compose action ( in a view ) throw up an error/message if the user is attempting to run on the parent document? I only want the action to run on the response doc...
Many thanks,
Broad.

I'm not quite sure, but I'd try to define the new form as a Response-to-response form. I think Notes will required a response document by itself.

I've probably completely misread your question, but I can at least explain what I was driving at...
Notes knows 3 types of forms: Main, Response and Response-to-response forms. That's at the form level. On the document level, there are but two: a document without responses (Main) and a document with responses (the other two). Now, when you are in a view that supports a hierarchy and you open a new document with a form that's defined as a Main form, Notes will see to it that the document you create isn't attached to some other document as a response. When it is a form that is defined as a Response-to-Response form, Notes will need a current document to attach the newly created document to (hence the complaint "No document is selected; please select a document to respond to").
In the last case, when a Response form is used, Notes needs a current document, but it won't attach the new document to the current document, but to the Main document in the tree the current document belongs to, as a new first-level response document to the common main document.
Will this help??
