Many times the URL which is passed to DominoPDF needs to be "built" in LotusScript code.

The examples below demonstrate techniques for meeting this requirement.

URL for Notes Database

The URL for the Notes database can be calculated from the NotesDatabase.FilePath property and a comprehensive function is provided below to determine the path.

Function GetDBPath(db As notesdatabase)

'check to see if the database is in a directory and swap the slash directions

Dim tmpPath As String

If db.Server = "" Then

tmpPath = Mid$(db.FilePath, Instr(1, Ucase(db.FilePath), "DATA\")+5, Len(db.FilePath))

Else

tmpPath = db.filepath

End If

Do While Instr(tmpPath,"\") > 0

tmpPath = Left$(tmpPath, Instr(tmpPath,"\")-1) + "/" + Right$(tmpPath,Len(tmpPath)-Instr(tmpPath,"\"))

Loop

 

'check and see if there are any embedded spaces and replace them with +

Do While Instr(tmpPath," ") > 0

tmpPath = Left$(tmpPath, Instr(tmpPath," ")-1) + "+" + Right$(tmpPath,Len(tmpPath)-Instr(tmpPath," "))

Loop

 

GetDbPath = tmpPath

End Function
