Well I think I figured out something

Ahhhh - DUH moment extraordinaire.

I am running a local server on my laptop. When I created it - I added it to our office development domain. So when I connect to it, it is not "localhost" it is a real server running on my machine.

When you use the Toohey tutorial the example given is the People view int the "Local" NAB. That My Contact - People view in the local NAB is not the same as the People view on a server. The only fields which work in my example match the field names in the "People" view on the server - DUH

The error is generated because the data source the application is trying to use is not the same as the data source on the server - which makes perfect sense.

When I use the selector to set the data source to be the People view on the server I get a different set of fields in my data source. I drag them to my XPage and it works like a charm no issues.

Confusion on my part but hopefully a lesson which might help someone

Cheers,

Marky
