Hi, I have done similar tasks

This formula must be in column view Lotus client:

@If( @Attachments; 5; 0 )

Then do the required icon and save it in the resource base, for example 5.gif

Next xPages viewPanel tab in the properties of "data" -> "var" write value "RowValue" and display type of column in viewPanel select content type "html", select data computed value and place the following code:

var value = RowValue.getColumnValue("$8") // "$8" - column with a formula in view Lotus client:@If( @Attachments; 5; 0 )

                       if(value == "5" ){
                           return "<img src='5.gif' />"
                       }else{
                           return ""
                       }

Re: Displaying Icons in the View Column

Hi Roman,

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing this but the link doesnt open when I click it from the view. If I remove this attachment formula it opens.

I am trying to create a XPage of a view from an existing database with old documents. I dont have an Xpage related to this view.

My question is: DO we need to recreate the form totally new in XPage to get the view to display properly? Doesnt it work with an existing database created before.
