Get the most from Notes®

I was working with a customer and was made aware of a change in the way ND8 works that was breaking her pre-ND8 apps. It turns out that she somehow got forms without the compiled Lotuscript. Prior to ND8, the code was compiled when the form loaded, so no problems. Apparently. for performance reasons, ND8 doesn't do this, so the code behind the events is not found, and the form doesn't load. The fact of the missing object code is not reported by any of our design tools, but it is detectable via Lotuscript. I wrote the following bit of code to print out the forms with this problem.

       Dim s As New NotesSession
       Dim db As NotesDatabase
       Dim doc As NotesDocument
       Dim nn As NotesNoteCollection
       Dim nID As String
       Dim x As Variant
       
      Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
       Set nn = db.CreateNoteCollection( False )
       nn.SelectForms = True
       nn.SelectSubforms = True
       nn.SelectionFormula = "@isAvailable('$$Script')"
       Call nn.BuildCollection
       
       If nn.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
       nID= nn.GetFirstNoteId
       Set doc = db.GetDocumentByID( nID )
       Do While Not( doc Is Nothing )
               If Not( doc.HasItem( "$$Script_O") ) Then
                       x = doc.GetItemValue( "$TITLE" )
                       Print x( 0 )
               End If
               nID = nn.GetNextNoteId( nID )
               If nID = "" Then Exit Sub
               Set doc = db.GetDocumentByID( nID )
       Loop

Change the bolded line to point to the database you want to scan. This simply prints out the name of any form in the database that is missing the compiled object code. You may not have any, but this step allows you to be proactive in identifying this situation. I hope this is useful and helps.
