Problem:

By default, creating a document via the LotusScript back-end classes does not utilize the form setting "Store form in document." Is it possible to create a document that includes the form setting "store form in document" via the the LotusScript back-end classes?

To create, via LotusScript back-end classes, a document that has the form stored within the document, you need to get a handle to the desired form and copy its contents into the newly-created document. To do this, you must make note of the form's Unique ID (UNID). The procedure to identify a form's UNID is provided below, along with a sample script.

How to Determine a Form's UNID:


Sample Script:

The following sample script creates via LotusScript back-end classes a document with "store form in document."
