Save datasources vs Save document action.

Hello,

I was trying to preview an xpage I developed in IE 6.0,the build is done in 8.5.1.

As per the requirement I tried creating document's in other db's,(i.e. xpage reside in db1 and through this xpage I create document in db2 and db3) in client it worked well and I got document created,but when same xpage launched in IE and after filling 4-5 fields as test data and attaching a document I pressed save button now error I got in IE browser was "exception occured calling method notesxspdocument.save() not allowed to access or modify the file".After some analysis I changed action of my save button from save datasources to save document and this worked well both in client and web.

Any advice on above behaviour of the page.

Thanks.

Re: Save datasources vs Save document action.

Save document action will only save the first DominoDocument datasource on your XPage, but save datasources will save all datasources on the XPage, which may include datasources you do not have access to save.

Unless I specifically want to save all datasources, I tend to use the SSJS script option of e.g. document1.save() . That means even if the Custom Control is added to another XPage where it is not the first datasource, it's still guaranteed to work as I intend.

Re: Save datasources vs Save document action.

Do note that when you use document1.save(), the querySave event of the data isn't triggered. It is only triggered when you use one of the "simple actions".
