    Lotus Notes Client Wizard - Components Example Database

    04/11/2008 11:08:52 AM | Chris Toohey | Saylorsburg, PA

    I find myself using wizards to create or modify documents in my day-to-day Lotus Notes applications - their utilization allows me to drive the user through the applied business logic while providing them with a simple user interface. I think it's both great UI design practice as well as an eye-opener for us Lotus Notes client developers who think that the only way to create and modify the NotesDocument is via it's form NotesItem-designated Form Design Element.

    But enough of that, let's get to the goods:

    Lotus Notes Client Wizard Components Example Database

    Open this database in the Domino Designer client and we'll see the (app/wizard/wizarddocgen)|wizarddocgen Form Design Element. And that's where the fun begins! ;-)

    Hello Chris, I am interested in checking out your wizard examples database however upon attempting to open it in my designer I receive an error that states This database has local access protection you are not authorized to access it...

    I have right clicked on the .nsf file and unblocked any restrictions that were on the DB. Other access looks correct and I am listed as owner. can you offer any help?

    thank you
    Patrick

    My bad Patrick -- database had local encryption. Updated the article with the non-encrypted download.

    THANKS!
