Notes: View Entry's ColumnValues returns an array for a specific column

This will happen if the column's property "Show multiple values as selected entries" is selected.

In this case the ColumnValues property of the NotesViewEntry class, will return an Array and the common way of obtaining it's value will fail.

To access the entry's column value weather it's an array or not, use this:


Function getColValue (vCol As Variant) As String
If Isarray(vCol) Then
getColValue = Cstr(vCol(0))
Else
getColValue = Cstr(vCol)
End If
End Function

And then use it like this:

stringValue = getColValue(vwEntry.ColumnValues(1))
