Thoughts

First of all, I don't fully understand what your form does. Maybe you can elaborate a bit on this. For example, you are writing that there's some LotusScript code that runs after QuerySave, and that you want that code to return False to QuerySave. I don't see how that would be possible at all.

It's certainly a good idea to catch Error 4412, which is raised when a NotesUIDocument.Save() or NotesUIDocument.Refresh() fails due to a field validation error. Another suggestion is to never use NotesDocument.Save() -- i.e., the back-end Save operation -- when saving the document from LotusScript code that runs in the context of a form or subform, since that would bypass any validation.

File Save and Ctrl - S Can't be coded

I have a document approval process. It should only advance to the next approval process after the first save AND exit. The following approval processes advance on a button but the first one advances after saving and exiting. One problem I have is I don't see a way to catch A Save or Ctrl-S if the user uses the File-Save button that doesn't have any code in it. - I've caught that with a On Error 4412. Thanks for the affirmation on this.

The next is something only happens if the @Command(FileCloseWindow]) has been invoked on an Exit or Save & Exit. - ISNewDoc changes after one successful save.

I am going to try populating a field value when I am exiting vs just saving.

Any tricks or suggestions out there ?

Thanks

Not sure I understand ...

A document does NOT save if Field level input validation fails. QuerySave will get trigged but the form document does NOT save. You could set a form level variable in the querysave if the conditions you are expecting are not met and check that elsewhere in your code to prevent something else from happening.

Sample Field level input validation:
@If(@ThisValue="";@Failure("no good");@Success)

SaveOptions ?

I haven't done a lot of design work lately, but I've used the SaveOptions filed before - set to '0' on the form. If the user presses 'esc' they're not prompted to save, ctrl-S will not save the form.

Then in my validation code, I set the field to '1' and save the form.

It's worked. at least, for what I was doing.
