Preview Notes Document in IE (Domino 4.X)

Preview Notes Document in IE (Domino 4.X)

In R5, you can preview a document you are creating in IE, Netscape, or the Notes client -- all with the click of a button. This code will give you the same functionality in 4.x to preview the current page in IE. Just make sure you've created a view that contains all documents and the first column is sorted by @Text(@DocumentUniqueID). For this script, I've called the view "$allpagelkup".


On the form, you need two hidden fields:
ServerName{serv:=@Subset(@DbName; 1);
@Name([CN]; serv)} and DocUNID{@Text(@DocumentUniqueID)}

Paste this code into an action button on the form:

Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim ieApp As Variant
Dim s As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase

Set uidoc = ws.CurrentDocument
Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
servname = uidoc.FieldGetText ( "ServerName" )
dirpath = db.FilePath
pagename = uidoc.FieldGetText ( "DocUNID" )
If pagename = "" Then
Msgbox "You must associate this page with a form!"
Exit Sub
End If
URL$ = "http://" & servname & "/" & dirpath & "/$allpagelkup/" & pagename & "?OpenDocument&login"
Call uidoc.Save ( )

Set ieApp = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ieApp.Visible = True
ieApp.navigate(URL$)
End Sub
