Create folder without values for required attributes

I'm having a problem creating a folder in a folder containing a category with required attributes using LAPI. Maually there is no problem; I don't have to fill any attributes. When I use the LL_CreateObjectEx function in VB however, the system keeps telling me I need to supply values for the attributes. I have tried an empty string or set the attribute list to undefined, but nothing helps.Can you tell me how to do it / what I'm doing wrong? Thanks,Rob Lips

What version of Livelink are you using? The reason I ask is because I found the following bug:

Bug # LPO-146

when attempting to create a subfolder with the LL_CreateObjectEx function. If the parent folder has a category assigned to it that contains a required attribute, the creation of the subfolder will fail

The bug should be fixed in Livelink 9.5.x and higher.
