Does anyone have an idea of what this message means.

Addin: Agent error message: Variant does not contain a container

This message shows up in the Server Log. We are running a scheduled agent
that goes out and refreshes a predefined number of documents then upon
completion it calls a second agent. The second agents log says that it has
run and we have run this agent manually and it works fine. But when we
call the second agent from the first it runs but does not process any of
the documents. Does any one have any ideas.

<< Variant does not contain a container >>

When you hit this message in LotusScript, your Agent quits processing.

Most variables in LotusScript must be defined first. That would be the
DIM statements at the top of the Sub or Functions. Variants don't
always need to be defined, however, as a convenience. Poor practice,
but a convenience.

Qualification.

If the Variant has not been defined and is to the left of the =
(equal sign), it gets it's definition from the guy on the right.

If the "item" has not been defined and is on the RIGHT of the = (equal
sign), it is assumed to be a Variant and complains because it hasn't
been defined yet. Think about it. It'll make sence after a while.
