Opening Doc in Notes Client Discussion DB

 I am trying to link to a specific document in an Xpage application that is based up on the standard Notes 8.5  Discussion database template. On the web, I am successfully using a URL of the following form:

http://krytendmz.krytenhq.kryten.com/customers/StarBug/intdoctrack.nsf/topicThread.xsp?databaseName=krytenDMZ/kryten!!customers\StarBug\intdoctrack.nsf&documentId=193A63DA08A3341380257A3600543634&action=openDocument

This works fine. But when I use the corresponding Notes URL in the Notes client:

notes://krytenDMZ/customers/StarBug/intdoctrack.nsf/topicThread.xsp?databaseName=krytenDMZ/kryten!!customers\StarBug\intdoctrack.nsf&documentId=193A63DA08A3341380257A3600543634&action=openDocument

It takes me to the default page of the application (the All Documents view), but does not open the specified document. 

I know that the first bit of the URL is correct because (a) it works in other situations and b) it opens the correct database; it's the opening of the specific document that fails.

Can anyone help?

 No, they just open up the database in the default view.

Re: Opening Doc in Notes Client Discussion DB
I have been able to recreate your problem on an 8.5.3 server/client.  I also managed to solve it using one of the URL styles I posted previously (the first one, the other two I posted had spurious / before the ?OpenDocument).
 
I did the following:
 
1.  Created a new db based on 8.5.3 Discussion template.
2.  Created a main document in the db in the Notes client.
3.  Opened the db in Firefox.
4.  Copied the url to the doc.
5.  Opened a new tab and pasted the url in.
6.  Changed the protocol from http:// to notes://
7.  Voila.  DB opens at default view...
 
I then changed the url to be of the form:
 
notes://server/db.nsf/UNID?OpenDocumentand the document opened as expected.
 
If yours is still playing up after trying this way, it would be prudent to verify that the document you are trying to get to does exists and is accessible by the user you are logged in as.
