Hi all,
I have an old lotus application. It was designed in lotus 6.5.
I use Lotus Designer 8.5 to modify it. There is an author field in its form. Its value is a formula. I modified it, but when it runs, the new formula does not take effect, its old formula still remains.
I search the Internet and find this: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/Reader_and_Author_Field_Troubleshooting
It says that: "Changing the form design does not affect access to pre-existing documents. Their access is controlled based on what values were written into the Reader/Author fields at the time they were last saved. You would have to write an agent or otherwise update the documents to correct the field values".
So, what can I do to make the new formula take effect?
I greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you very much!

In article <77cbc0b3-86fd-4605...@googlegroups.com>,
The data is stored independently of the form; modifying the code on the
form doesn't change the data stored in the document until you trigger an
action that forces the code to re-evaluate.
You could:
-- Open each document through the GUI
-- Use an agent to set the values you want
Either way, read up on some Domino fundamentals; there's a lot for you
to learn.
