Examples: Remove method (NotesDocument - LotusScript®)

  1. This script removes a document from a database, unless another user has modified it.
    Dim doc As NotesDocument
'...set value of doc...
If doc.Remove( False ) Then
  Messagebox _
  ( "The document was deleted from the database." )
Else
  Messagebox _
  ( "Doc not deleted. Another user modified it." )
End If
  2. This script removes a document from a database, regardless of whether another user has modified it. It does not use the Remove method's return value.
    Dim doc As NotesDocument
'...set value of doc...
Call doc.Remove( True )
  3. This script gets the universal ID of the current UI document, marks the document for deletion and closes it. The script then retrieves the back-end NotesDocument object from the database and removes it with the NotesDocument Remove method. 
    Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim docA As NotesDocument
Dim s As String

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
Set docA = uidoc.document
s = docA.UniversalID
Call uidoc.deletedocument()
Set docB = db.getDocumentByUNID(s)
Call docB.Remove(True)
Call workspace.viewrefresh()
  4. This script removes all of the documents in the view called "My Favorites."
    Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim view As NotesView
Dim collection As NotesViewEntryCollection
Dim entry As NotesViewEntry
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set view = db.GetView("My Favorites")
Set collection = view.AllEntries
Set entry = collection.GetFirstEntry()
While Not(entry Is Nothing)
  Set doc = entry.Document
  doc.Remove(True)
  Set entry = collection.GetNextEntry(entry)
