Subject: error message "Error - script is busy"

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Notes 8 Client

Technical Area: Crash

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.0.2

Reproducible: Always

I have some code in the database Postopen event which verifies the user's ability to use the database. If the user is not allowed to use this particular replica, the code closes the current database and opens a replica on a different server. The code works fine under 6.5.6, but causes the Notes 8.0.2 client to crash. The error given prior to the crash is Error - script is busy.

This is the part of the code.

---------------------
' Need to close current database before opening new database.
Call CurDb.Close

' Verify new database is available
NewDbOpened = NewDb.OpenByReplicaID (SelectedServer, ReplicaID)

' If available, then open
If NewDbOpened Then
Call ws.OpenDatabase (NewDb.Server, NewDb.FilePath)
End If

-------------

In following the code using the LotusScript debugger, the error is being caused by the Call ws.OpenDatabase command.

Interestingly, commenting out the Call CurDb.Close command prevents the error and client from crashing, but I'm left with both replicas open, which is not what I would like.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Scott.
