I finally was able to get this to work. The Error is gone. However, I scheduled the agent to run daily and when it runs, the results are blank. But if I manually go into the agent and run the agent it works. Is there something I am doing wrong. Here’s the revised code:

Sub Initialize
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim v As NotesView
Dim doc As NotesDocument

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
doc.Form = “Copy of UR”
doc.Date = (Date)
doc.Population = (Population)
doc.UR = (UR)
Call doc.ComputeWithForm(True,False)
Call doc.Save(True,True)

End Sub

I was so excited that I finally got this to fun without the error. However, when the agent runs on schedule, I receive the same error, but when I manually run the agent, I do not receive any errors.

Whenever you have a situation where code works when you run it, but fails when it runs automatically (like on a schedule), it is often a matter of permissions. When you run it, it is executing with your permissions. When it runs automatically, it runs as the signer or whoever it is set to run as. In your case, you’re accessing a secondary db. Check the ACL of that database to be sure your agent has access to it.

Thank you so much. I will see if this works. Good luck on your numeric sort as well. If I find out anything, I will try to help you as well. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. I failed to stated the information about my document. I didn’t mean to confuse you about the views. I totally understand that you don’t save views.

I left out the part about the document. I am creating a document daily that I want to save to a particular view. The document that I am creating details is below:

Name of document = UR

Field #1 Name = Date with @ Today = Default Field value
Field #2 Name = Population with Default formula value =
@Sum(@ToNumber(@DbColumn( “Notes” :
“”; “noteserv” : “New Neocap.nsf” ; “WRIM”; 1)))

The view contains the following:

There’s Four (4) columns in the view. Columns are as follows:

Column 1 Name= Date – with Default Field as Date
Column 2 Name = UT Rate – with Default formula as Population/125
Column 3 Name = Number – with Default formula as
@If(Population = “”;”";1)
Column 4 Name = Manday Total – with Default field as Population

When I create this document manually, I do not receive any errors in the view and the document saves to the view with no problems.

When I run the agent, the document saves to the view, but I receive the error
However, when I run the agent to create this document. I receive an error in the

UT Rate Column of the view

The Error = Error: Incorrect Data Type for operation or @Function: Number Expected.

I hope this helps. Thank you so much.

Well, first you’ll need to tell us what the formulas are for your 3 columns. It might be helpful to know something about the fields in the documents and the values you’re inputting, too.
But, to be honest, I think you have a misunderstanding about views and documents. You don’t save views; they are just a means of seeing a list of documents and their values (to be overly simplistic). As the documents change, the values shown in the view change.
