Yes, that is correct.  I have created new applications in XPages, but still have other applications written in native Notes.  So, from the new XPage applications, I need to navigate back to older documents, so I would like the user to click on a button which will set field values, save the document and then navigate them to a native notes document.

I've gone from Notes Client to Web but not tried Web/XPages to notes Client.  In theory though you just need to use a Notes URL I think.

Good Luck.

notes://server/database/form should open the form in the database depending on the DBs default values.

So think that your code would look like this:

notes://name1/Test.nsf/44694393939392292929229/1773604038827272790303?OpenDocument

assuming all else is equal.

To have a button open an XPage, the source code looks like this:

<xp:button value="test" id="button3" styleClass="button">
                 <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
                <xp:this.action>
                    <xp:openPage target="openDocument"
                        name="/Test.nsf/44692d275f957997852579e2004d61ed"
                        documentId="17b45b134f5c942585257b250054ab4a">
                    </xp:openPage>
                </xp:this.action>
            </xp:eventHandler>
        </xp:button>

I need to open a document in traditional notes and it gives me an error message when I try to do that using this method, maybe because of the <xp:openPage> command.  I have tried a lot of other commands in place of the <xp:openPage> like:

<xp:button value="test" id="button9" styleClass="button">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
                <xp:this.action>
                           <![CDATA[window.open("http://test/Test.nsf/2d14d7438b3c1c0f85256b9c005f80ae/faad27d8dc6e428285256bb10068d786?OpenDocument",'_blank');]]></xp:this.action>
            </xp:eventHandler>
        </xp:button>

but, they don't seem to work.                          

I found the solution, here is the code to open a traditional notes document using an XPage button:

        <xp:button value="test" id="button9" styleClass="button">
     
            <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
                <xp:this.script>
                    <![CDATA[window.open("http://test/Test.nsf/2d14d7438b3c1c0f85256b9c005f80ae/faad27d8dc6e428285256bb10068d786?OpenDocument",'_blank');]]>
                </xp:this.script>
            </xp:eventHandler>
        </xp:button>

Using <xp:this.script> before the CDATA statement solved the problem.

Actually, the post that I made labeled "Solution", opens the page in a new window.  I'd like to stay in the window that I was originally in, any ideas for the code to achieve that?

Christine,

I think it may be the _blank parameter you are passing to the call that is causing the new window.  The option I think you need is _self.  Check here if you want to see what else you can do with that http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp
