[Openroad-users] E_WT006D The invocation ofanexternalobjectmethod failed.

What is the value of the ExternalError attribute?
Be aware that some "error codes" are just informational or warning codes, not really errors,
the first two bits of the 32bit value indicate :
          00 - Success
          01 - Informational
          10 - Warning
          11 - Error
 
Is the non-zero value a relict from a previous operation?
Are there any messages in the Trace Window when this occurs?
 
Could you provide an example and - if possible - open a ServiceDesk issue for the problem?

having tried to use it to make my software more robust, I find the state/value of ExternalError to be somewhat unreliable, i.e its value can be non-zero even though the ActiveX transaction was successful ...

	As the ExternalError attribute is defined as ReadOnly, you should not need to reset it to zero.

	with respect to the ExternalError attribute does it need to be reset to zero everytime, before an ActiveX method/attribute is used?

		Have you checked the ExternalError attribute of SessionObject (CurSession.ExternalError) ?
		 
		BTW: the error code -2147352567 (0x80020009) just means "Exception occured",
		so this can happen for any exception in your ActiveX component -
		it doesn't really map to the error message 'Notes Error - File does not exist' you see in the trace window.

		hi all,
		
		i think, this problem was described two times in the last months by Gary Hansford on 6. Dec and Roger Pachet on 17. Nov, but I could not find any answer to the questions.
		Now I am facing the same problme using Lotus Notes ActiveX methods
		
		Sometimes the OR Trace window shows this kind of error
		
		E_WT006D The invocation of an external object method failed.
		The method 'opendatabase' for source '<missing>' returned an error code
		of -2147352567 and the error message:
		'Notes Error - File does not exist'
		
		I decided to do a loop checking if the invocation fails and if so to try again several times before displaying an error message to the user, but I could not find any class or attribute containing the errorcode E_WT006D nor the error code returned from Lotus Notes.
		
		Does anybody have an idea which attribute contains this information?
		
		Kind regards
