<description><![CDATA[I'm not sure what to say here, because the problem doesn't exist on my Notes client, now. I now have 8.5.1FP2 installed. <br /><br />All I can suggest is<br /><br />- delete the index via the Db properties, close the Notes client, and remove the FT index files directory from disk<br /><br />- restart Notes<br /><br />- re-create the index. <br /><br />If that doesn't work<br /><br />- try 8.5.1FP2<br /><br />- raise a PMR with IBM, if you have a support contract. <br /><br />Mick]]></description>

<title>Blackstone HOn3 K-27</title>

<dc:subject>Blackstone HOn3 K-27</dc:subject>
<description><![CDATA[On balance, yes, I'm happy with the Blackstone. Decent, solid model with a modicum of individuality (thet don't do all the things that separate the diffeent prototypes, such as the different arrangements of colling coils, or the clack valves on 462 and on eother being in a different place, or all the tender right side piping variations, including the rarely done RGS 461 pipe up the right side that ended iin an angle cock. But if yoyu are a detail nut, these are all easy to add. My 456 even has the rear driver sanders that MMI do, but Blackstone don't.<br /><br />Biggest issue is the noisy running. Of my 4 Blackstones, only one runs as quietly and as smoothly as brass, or MMI K-27s. Of the other three, all have mechanical gearbox noise and one also has a small bind in it. Compare to my two MMis and one PSC brass one (1992 MSM run), the MMIs and the brass loco are far better mechanically, better detailed (tho I've spent time on the MMis just as I have on the BS), and they pull a little more. But the BS locos are RTR out of the box, two thirds the MMI price for more bang (sound, RTR, etc) and way lessthan half what I paid for the brass one. Pay yer money and take yer chance. <br /><br />Mick]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Another solution would be to make the database handle a static variable inside the GetPartnersDB function, and use an 'is nothing' test within that function to see if it's already been initialised. That also takes the inefficiency out of repeated calling the function. (Although to really eradicate the inefficiency you would want to do the same thing with the view handle in the GetPartnerDoc function)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've had exactly that same issue on code that runs on a server, yet it runs just fine in the client. In certain situations (as Selcuk describes), if you return a handle to a NotesDocument from a function/method but the database and/or view that the document is from is no longer in scope, the NotesDocument reference will also go out of scope too. If the NotesDatabase and NotesView that the doc came from stay in scope (globally or locally) you won't see the error.<br /><br />It's a pain to debug too, because when you run the function locally it usually works. Just on the server where it's a problem most of the time.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[That's most probably because the garbage collector destroys your NotesDocument after returning from function because the parent object (NotesDatabase) is destroyed.<br /><br />Initialize the database object before and pass it as a function argument instead:<br /><br />Set pDB=GetPartnersDB <br /><br />Set ClientInsurer = GetPartnerDoc(pDB, claim.ID_ClientInsurer(0))<br /><br />and<br /><br />Function GetPartnerDoc(pDB as NotesDatabase, IPCode As String) As NotesDocument <br /><br />Hope this helps<br /><br />Selcuk Ayguney]]></description>
