orphand response docs

Hi all,

I have a response hierarchy in one of my databases. Now while testing I have noticed that when I delete the parent document, all other response and response to response documents linked to that deleted parent remain the database. Is there a way that I can make sure that when a main document is deleted its responses and responses to responses are also deleted?

Thank you

OK, here's a script

Sub DeleteDocument( doc As NotesDocument )

      Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
      Dim respDoc As NotesDocument
      Dim nextDoc As NotesDocument

      Set dc = doc.Responses
      Set respDoc = dc.GetFirstDocument

      While Not respDoc Is Nothing
            Set nextDoc = dc.GetNextDocument( respDoc )
            Call DeleteDocument( respDoc )
            Set respDoc = nextdoc
      Wend
Call doc.Remove( True )

end sub

I place the above as a function in the database script section.
Then in the querydocumentdelete of the database script I call the function, but nothing happens.
Is my call to the function incorrect or should this not be in the querydocumentdelete section?

Call deletedocument(doc)

Even when I paste this in view event and call it from the view which has the parent document, i still have no luck.

And look at the PostDocumentDelete event in the Database script (under Other/Database Resources)

I'll give this a try.
However, just curious to why my function above did not work. Is the call to the function incorrect?
