SPR

Technote

Problem:
This is a limitation of Notes that was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR#
AKNX5MZMHY, and was fixed in Notes 6.5.5 and 7.0.1.

Excerpt from the Lotus Domino Release 6.5.5 and 7.0.1 MR fix lists (available
at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus):

Design
SPR# AKNX5MZMHY - Fixed an error received after trying to lookup a large NAB in
the teamroom template via the web.

Refer to the Upgrade Central site for details on upgrading Notes/Domino.

Workaround:
The functionality within the form (nAddress) uses a @DbColumn call within the
LookupNames field to present the list of names and a ListBox in the WhoList
field to return the name. This functionality can be modified to use a
@PickList to present the list of names. This requires a change in the basic
functionality of the dialog, where an additional button must be pressed to
trigger the @PickList (and display the list of names).

In the (nAddress) form:

1. Remove the LookupNames field.
2. Change the field WhoList to be a Text field (rather than a ListBox).
3. Remove the static text "Select a Name from the List". In its place create a
button titled "Press to Select a Name".
4. Set the button to Client and Formula, and add the code below:

s1 := @Subset(svrdb; 1);
f1 := @Subset(svrdb; -1);

Server := @If(S1 = ""; ""; S1);
db := @If(@ClientType = "Notes"; f1; AddrBookWeb);
file := server : db;

view := LookupView;

FIELD WhoList:=@PickList([Custom]:[Single]; server: db; view;
"Title";"Prompt";1);
@True


Steps to reproduce Issue:

1. Create a TeamRoom database from either of the following template designs:

"Team Room (6)" (teamrm6.ntf)
"Team Room (7)" (teamrm7.ntf)

Note: When creating the database you must enable the option "Show advanced
templates" to list this template.

2. Open to the default frameset/view.
3. Expand "Leader/Facilitator Options".
4. Select "Edit Members, Subteams, Events".
5. From the view action, select New > Team Member.
6. Click on the Address book picture.
7. From the top drop-down menu, choose the appropriate large Domino Directory
and click OK.
