Hi,

 

instead of returning "Please select an acronym first (Error)" you could do return the error.

 

Just change the line

 

 

to 

 

 

and check the message.

Ok, when I did that, all I got was:

 

Error: "e" not found.

"e" is the variable in the catch-block. If it is not found, it sounds to me that you have a syntax problem in your code.

Try to rebuild the fragments of your code.

 

Remove the code in the try{} - section. Then there should be no error anymore.

 

 

 

 i couldn't get that to work either so i did a workaround :-)
 
// get the data from the setup
    var sdoc:NotesDocument = session.getCurrentDatabase().getView('vwluSetup').getFirstDocument();
    var nab_server:String = sdoc.getItemValueString('fldNABServer');
    var nab_path:String = sdoc.getItemValueString('fldNABPath');
    var nab_view:String = sdoc.getItemValueString('fldNABView');
 
//conect the external db
var directory:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(nab_server, nab_path);
var allUsers:NotesView = directory.getView(nab_view);

var searchValue:string = 'whatever_to_search_for';
var matchingEntries:NotesViewEntryCollection = allUsers.getAllEntriesByKey(searchValue, false);
var entry:NotesViewEntry = matchingEntries.getFirstEntry();
 
 

Well, I feel pretty stupid to tell you what the problem was but here it is:

 

 

var db = new Array("notea02a/SERV/Srs","Apps - SystemFolders\\NotesSystemFolders.nsf"); 

 

 I forgot to put two backslashes in the file path.  I found it when I had the error return the value of the db variable.

 

Oh well, live and learn. 

 

Thanks for all the help.
