Hello

Starting with my first XPages attempt and have run issues.

I have two views and one button. One viewpanel is in the current database, another is in a different database.

The one button should set the same flag across two databases.

If I use

whichDB=database for the current database, my updates work.
If I use getDatabase method with server and fileanme then it doesn't.

I can of course use database for the current database but I used the getDatabase to see if it was something like an access problem in the external database but it can't be if
whichDB = database works but the server name and file path do not for the current database.

I have tried
- hardwiring the server name and path
- putting !! in front of database name

and I really just do not know why it is not working.
The code for my button is below.

I would really appreciate any guidance!

Thanks in advance

Kathy
