I think I am being unclear. I never tested studio on a 2nd PC. I only tested with runtime on a 2nd PC. Runtime has always worked. When I replaced the installation of studio on my PC with runtime the problem stopped occuring there as well. I only saw the problem when I had studio installed on my PC

At this point the problem is no longer occuring on my PC even with studio installed. I don’t know what fixed it. I will list my changes for your benefit. The first change was to add another portal. The second change was to replace the first code block below with the second. Thanks for your help!

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
dim oPortal
set oPortal = groupwise.PortalManager.Portals.add
oPortal.ID = “GroupWise Help”
oPortal.Caption = “Keynet”
oPortal.URL = “http://keynet.xxx.com/HOME/TechTips/GroupWiseHelp/index.asp”
oPortal.show
set oPortal = nothing
End Sub

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)
dim oPortal
dim oPortals

set oPortals = GroupWise.PortalManager.Portals
set oPortal = oPortals.Item(“KEYnet”)

if oPortal is nothing Then
set oPortal = oPortals.Add
oPortal.Caption = “KEYnet GroupWise Help”
oPortal.TabCaption = “KEYnet”
oPortal.ID = “KEYnet”
oPortal.NavigationControlsEnabled = true
oPortal.URLInputEnabled = false
end If
oPortal.Url = “http://keynet.bkd.com/HOME/TechTips/GroupWiseHelp/index.asp”
oPortal.Show
oPortals.ActivePortal = oPortal.ID

set oPortal = nothing
set oPortals = nothing
End Sub

Thank you for the suggestions.

I upgraded my client to 7.0 SP2 beta. I also upgraded IE to the latest. The behavior was the same. I then uninstalled studio and replaced with runtime. Bingo! Problem solved. Reinstalling studio made the the problem return. Is there a problem upgrading from runtime to studio maybe? At least I am relatively sure that the problem is specific to my PC. I am getting ready to install on ~1500 workstations in a couple weeks.

Here are some other things I have noticed:
After the screen blanks, if I maximize the Window the web page will be displayed properly. If I restore the Window it will go blank again.

I can maximize C1 in front of the GW client. The web page will be displayed for about a 10th of a second when C1 is then minimized.

I have more information to report: When I run in caching mode the portal screen is being erased immediately after the initial send/retreive operation. Subsequent send/retreives do not erase the portal. It looks like it may caused by the auto archive process.

If I switch to online mode it will go blank occaisionally but I have yet to notice a pattern.

I ran a packet trace as GroupWise was starting up. I can’t see where it tries to read the role object. I can send it to you if you want.

I have double checked everything in your list. Still whenever I start Studio it shows User Mode and no libraries.

BTW, I have admin rights to the entire tree so I am sure that its not a rights issue on my end.

Thank you for the prompt response. I am very impressed.

For this to work the way I envision both newly received and newly created items would need to have a category set. I think I can meld your example into the hello world example and get it to work for newly received items.

I am unsure of the best way to proceed with newly created items. I only want to set the category if the user does not set it themself. Is there an event that I can use that will detect new items of any type after they have been added? Would it make more sense to set the category before it is sent or posted?

Thanks again!
