I have inherited a shared action that works very well on a single document selected in a view. However I am struggling to make this work as an action that can be performed against each document in a view.

There is a type mismatch, that I don't understand, when attempting to set doc to uidoc of vice versa.

Any suggestions?

Sub Click(Source As Button)

      Dim session As New NotesSession
      Dim db As NotesDatabase
      Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
      Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
      Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
      Dim doc As NotesDocument

      Set x1App=CreateObject("Word.application")
      x1App.Visible = False

      Call workspace.EditDocument( False )
      Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
      Call uidoc.ExpandAllSections
      Call uidoc.Copy

            'get all document info
      Num = uidoc.Fieldgettext("DocNum")
      Rev = uidoc.Fieldgettext("Revision")
      FName=Replace(Num,"/","-") +" Rev "+ Cstr(Rev)

'save the document into MS Word format

      x1App.Documents.Add ("H:\DATA\_2012 Lotus Notes\Doc Ctrl\My Extracted Atts and Analysis\Content\_Content Template (with New Doc Routines).dot")

      ' the template specified has additional code to run on each new document (i.e. pasting content and clean up)

      x1App.ActiveDocument.SaveAs ("H:\DATA\_2012 Lotus Notes\Doc Ctrl\My Extracted Atts and Analysis\Content\"+FName + ".doc"      )
      Call uidoc.Close
      x1App.Activewindow.close

      Set x1App=Nothing



End Sub

Appologize for the delay response but I was off on vacation and swmped when I returned.

Your comment made me go back and look again for something simple and I changed the code so to call an a specific view, set the doc and set uidoc to doc. Not sure how efficient I am but this is the code that I have working now:

Sub Click(Source As Button)
            Dim session As New NotesSession
      Dim db As NotesDatabase
      Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
      Dim uiview As NotesUIView
      Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
      Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
      Dim doc As NotesDocument


      Set x1App=CreateObject("Word.application")
      x1App.Visible = True



      Set db=session.currentdatabase
      Set dc=db.UnprocessedDocuments
      Set uiview = workspace.CurrentView

      For j =1 To dc.count

            Set doc=dc.getnthdocument(j)
            'get all document info
            Num = doc.DocNum(0)
            Rev = doc.Revision(0)
            FName=Replace(Num,"/","-") +" Rev "+ Cstr(Rev)

            Call uiview.SelectDocument(doc)
            Call workspace.EditDocument( False )
            Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
            Call uidoc.ExpandAllSections
            Call uidoc.Copy
            Call uidoc.Close(True)
            'Set uidoc=Nothing

'save the document into MS Word format
' the template specified has additional code to run on each new document (i.e. pasting content and clean up)
            x1App.Documents.Add ("H:Analysis\Content\_Content Template (with New Doc Routines).dot")
            x1App.ActiveDocument.SaveAs ("H:Analysis\Content\"+FName + ".doc"      )
            x1App.Activewindow.close

      Next



      Set x1App=Nothing



      End Sub

Not a solution in the strictest sense of the word but your comment provoked additional thought and my question is resolved.
