  • 0

I have a form. When I open the form the two fields called office and group should be picked up from another database named something like staff.nsf. The data is picked up based on the applicant name as key. I have included my name in staff database. But the form is not picking up the two fields from the staff database.

The field formula goes like this,

server := @Name([CN]; @Subset(@DbName; 1));
temp:= @If(Applicant != ""; @DbLookup( "" : "NoCache"; server:"Mast\\Staff.nsf";
"ByApplicant";Applicant; 2); "");
@If(@IsError(temp);"";temp)

Is it a system bug? Can anybody help please.

Regards,
Priya

    A few thoughts:

    The ByApplicant view needs to have its first column sorted alphabetically and that column should be the list of applicant names you are matching on

    Try hard coding the value for applicant in the @DBLookup to see if it works, and to rule it out as the problem.

    This does not work on the web, only on the client (I believe)
