Problem with RenderToRTItem

[Bryan.Sc...@walsworth.com]

I have been a Notes programmer for 2+ years and have never seen
anything like this....

I have an action in a form that should simply take the document, put it
into a mail document, set the SendTo field, and then let the user put
some text in the document.

I tried to use the Forward method, but I couldn't get the code in the
button to let me set the SendTo field. So I wrote the code below.

If I run it in debug and step through the code, it works. If I just let
it run (either in Debug or out) the mail memo doesn't contain the
document.

This is a real pain in the ass. What the hell am I doing wrong?

Set workspace = New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim maildb As NotesDatabase
Dim mailnote As NotesDocument
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim rtitem As NotesRichTextItem
Dim success As Variant

Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
Set doc = uidoc.document

Set maildb = New NotesDatabase("","")
maildb.OpenMail
Set mailnote = New NotesDocument(maildb)
mailnote.body = doc.body(0)

Set rtitem = New NotesRichTextItem( mailnote, "Body" )
success = doc.RenderToRTItem( rtitem )
mailnote.SendTo = "Bryan Schmiedeler/Walsworth Publishing
Company"

Call workspace.EditDocument(True,mailnote)

is there a default form in the database?
If not, RenderToRichtextItem will not work.

(It's not important, which form is the default form)

I've had another problem with this method : when running the code
erverything seemed to be fine but when opening documents that contained
RTItems created with RenderToRTItem, I got an application error. When
checking the document-properties all seemed to be fine, but if I managed to
open a document the contents of the richtextitem was spread all over the
document. Most of the times I got an application error.

I've also read that, when using RenderToRTItem non-activated
hide-when-formulas are executed for objects that are placed in a
layout-region.

To me it seems that they havn't done such a great job when programming this
method ...

If I would have to program somthing that requires use of this method these
days, I simply would state that it's impossible. Too much hastle, too much
frustration.

There was not a default form. I designated a form as default, but this
did not change the observed behavour.

Is there a way to do this using the .Forward method?
