hi,

I want to display a view where the parameters comes from the form ie.users selects the two or more criteria / conditions from a form and on submission, the view show display.
1) On click of a object(from left side frame) opening a form. Can a form open in right frame or a floating form?
2) This form will have two combobox. Is this object need to be define as a gobal vairable, if yes How ?
3) On click of the button, how to take the values of these form to the select query of view and displaying the view.

thanks..

First of all, please read this article directly from the Lotus forums.

What it says is that Notes does not do dynamic view selection.

There is three ways to go around that :

1) using an All Documents view, create a code that selects documents via user-entered criteria, then display only the selected ones.

2) Almost the same, but the code - instead of selecting - copies the documents to a folder and opens the folder. The advantage of this is that the user can work in the folder normally. The disadvantage is that either the folder is private, in which case you'll have a folder per user of the application, or it is public, in which case you'd better hope that only one uses it at a time !

3) Create a view based on all the criteria you need and embed it as a Single Category view in a form. The category will be a bit complicated to construct, but by giving the user a checkbox environment, it won't be too difficult to use.
