Re: Removing Documents from Domino Database

[Tigger <tigger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To delete documents you simply DELETE the document(s). The view is nothing but
an index to the documents in the database. Once a document is deleted it will
no longer show up in any view (unless you have soft deletions turned on, but
that is a different issue).

However, you state that you are creating a FORM through an agent. Creating a
FORM is a process that requires the Domino Designer and it cannot be done with
an Agent. I think what you are really saying is that you are creating a
DOCUMENT.

A DOCUMENT has fields on it and one of those FIELDS is Document ID. Your Agent
should be populating the fields on the FORM (Document ID as well) with a
different value each time it is run.

Is this what you are trying to say (do)? If so, as I said above, simply delete
the document in question.
