When you insert a Microsoft Excel object in a Lotus Notes form for the first time, and you use one of the summary information fields in the form, the information in the field may not be updated in the form.
This problem has only been reported with Microsoft Excel objects. This problem does not occur with Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint.
To correct this problem, do the following:
1. Close the Lotus notes form that contains the embedded Microsoft Excel
object.
2. Create a new form.
3. Insert a Word Document object, and add one of the summary information
fields to the form.
Exchanging field information in the form with a Microsoft Excel object will
now work correctly.
Lotus Notes is manufactured by Lotus Development Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this products' performance or reliability.
