PRB: "Self.Parent.Main_SR is not an object." With Frameset DTC

ID: Q240173

The information in this article applies to:

Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), version 1.21
Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5 Service Packs 1, 2

SYMPTOMS

Using the Frameset DTC, one can view specific published Public Folders. If the folder picker option is selected in the properties for the Frameset DTC and you then try to navigate to another folder in the generated HTML, you receive the following error message:

"Self.Parent.Main_SR is not an object."

CAUSE

The frame tag in the HTML is missing the NAME= parameter that is needed to be properly referenced by the code present in Outlook Web Access (OWA).

RESOLUTION

Add the name parameter to the frame in the HTML script that the Frameset DTC creates. The following code demonstrates how to do this:

<!-- The line below is the line that the NAME= parameter is added to reflect the correct frame name. -->

<FRAMESET ROWS="100%, 0%"> 
<FRAME NAME="main_fr" SRC="http://<webserver>/exchange/root.asp?mode=0&store=0&acs=anon&view=1&obj=000000001A447390AA6611CD9BC800AA002FC45A0300F19D50FFB354D311A8E800AA00BBAFE80000000000110000">
<FRAME> 
</FRAMESET> 
<!--METADATA TYPE="DesignerControl" endspan--> 
</HTML>

MORE INFORMATION

The NAME= parameter must be added again if any properties of the frameset are modified. Everytime the Frameset DTC's properties are modified, this change is lost.
