Modify Document.Author by programm

[lp_irovetz]

Hi again,

Document.Author is here again

But, many time after and with the collaboration of Novell (thanks Mr Glade Monson)
Document.author is actualy R/W.

but …
but …
but …

and with GW6.5.6 and 7.0.1

I always tried

set DocBid = LibTrouv.getdocument (45) ‘a good document with weel shared propeties

Message = “”
Message = Message & “Sujet -> ” & DocBid.Subject &vbCr
Message = Message & “Créator Bid ->” & DocBid.creator &vbCr
Message = Message & “Author Bid -> ” & DocBid.author &vbCr
msgbox Message

set DocBid.Author = DocBid.creator
DocBid.refresh

Message = “”
Message = Message & “Sujet -> ” & DocBid.Subject &vbCr
Message = Message & “Créator Bid ->” & DocBid.creator &vbCr
Message = Message & “Author Bid -> ” & DocBid.author &vbCr
msgbox Message

and alway got error on ‘set DocBid.Author = DocBid.creator’

Now when you try

set DocBid = LibTrouv.getdocument (45) ‘a good document with weel shared propeties

Message = “”
Message = Message & “Sujet -> ” & DocBid.Subject &vbCr
Message = Message & “Créator Bid ->” & DocBid.creator &vbCr
Message = Message & “Author Bid -> ” & DocBid.author &vbCr
msgbox Message

DocBid.Author = DocBid.creator ‘<======== Without Set
DocBid.refresh

Message = “”
Message = Message & “Sujet -> ” & DocBid.Subject &vbCr
Message = Message & “Créator Bid ->” & DocBid.creator &vbCr
Message = Message & “Author Bid -> ” & DocBid.author &vbCr
msgbox Message

it runs

is there a compilation process greamlins in your set command ?

L.P.,

What is the error reported when you try the following?

  set DocBid.Author = DocBid.Creator

I would not expect this to work without using the set operator. set is not a Formativ command, rather it is a VBScript operator to be used when assigning an object reference to a variable. In this case, you are assigning to an object property (Document.Author) which is possible only if it allows write access in the installed version of GroupWise.

Have you tried calling the following method before assigning Creator to Author?

  DocBid.Refresh

I hope this helps.
