Given a response document in a view, returns its parent document.

Defined in

NotesView

Syntax

Set notesDocument = notesView.GetParentDocument( document )

Parameters

document

A NotesDocument. Any document in the view. If you specify Nothing, this method generates an error.

notesDocument

A NotesDocument. The parent of the specified document. If you have filtered the view using FTSearch, GetParentDocument simply returns the previous document in the view. Returns Nothing if the specified document is not a response document.

The document returned by GetParentDocument may be a main document, a response, or a response-to-response.

To find a document's parent outside a view, get its ParentDocumentUNID and use the NotesDatabase method GetDocumentByUNID.
