LO40317: NOTESRICHTEXTNAVIGATOR CAN'T FIND A NESTED TABLE

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The attached database illustrates the problem. It contains one
  document with a
  rich text field, the rich text field contains several tables.
  Run the agent
  Search for Tables, which loops thru all the tables in the rich
  text and counts
  them. With the document in this database, it counts 6. In fact,
  there are 7.
  One of the tables contains another table in one of its cells.
  There seems to be
  no way to get information about the inner table. FindNextElement
  and
  GetNextElement skip right over it.
  
   Set body = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
   Set nav = body.CreateNavigator
   found = nav.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLE)
   Do While found
    count = count + 1
    found = nav.FindNextElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLE)
   Loop
   Set doc = col.GetNextDocument(doc)
  
   Msgbox "Found " & count & " tables."
  
  The documentation for FindNextElement states that it finds "the
  next element of
  a specified type in a rich text item after the current
  position." A position is
  a point in the rich text -- if you've positioned to a table,
  your position is
  at the beginning of the table. If that table contains another
  table, the inner
  table is after the current position, and FindNextElement should
  find the inner
  table, not the next table following the end of the current
  table.
