Set field from Action while opened in Preview Pane?

[Robert Eriksen]

Hello

What I thought would be a simple task, is starting to drive me crazy.
I've created a simple formula action in a folder, to set a value for
the field "Supporter" on a form:

FIELD MyField := "MyValue";

And this works fine as long as the preview pane isn't open.
Unfortunately the preview pane is open 99% of the time, so I would
very much like the action to function then, as well.

But it seems next to impossible to edit a document in previewmode?

I've come up with this so far:

@Command([ShowHidePreviewPane];0);
@Command([EditDocument];1);
FIELD MyFieldr := "MyValue";
@Command([EditDocument];0);
@Command([CloseWindow]);
@Command([ShowHidePreviewPane];1);

The Preview Pane is hidden just fine, and reappears and i can see the
document-tab appearing briefly so I assume the document goes into
Edit-mode (which shouldnt be necessary since the preview pane is
hidden but I'm grasping at straws here), but the field value isn't set
:-(

Anyone have an idea of why, and a solution?

why not use in a form action

Dim hSession As New NotesSession
Dim hWorkSpace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim hDoc As NotesDocument

Set hDoc=hWorkSpace.CurrentDocument.Document

hDoc.MyVal="100"
Call hDoc.Save(True,False)

This works while the doucment in in preview
