So how could I, as a developer, get information back from you, the downloader? Well, there's several ways that I've come across that will allow you to design your applications to gather information from the user and the user's environment. While I wouldn't recommend these "approaches" for all of your projects (and doubt that I would include any of these in my example databases), it goes to show just how much power you have over the user who has downloaded and ran your database...

Your Inbox in your mail file has become corrupt for whatever reason. Because the Inbox is a folder, it does not use selection formulas to give a collection of documents. It is built by the router depositing messages there. Once the folder is destroyed or replaced, the collection is lost with it. After replacing it with a new one, only new documents will be deposited in it from that point on...

Das Starten von Agenten auf einem Server oder einer lokalen Datenbank, stellt an sich kein Problem dar. Dem Entwickler stehen in Lotus Notes genügend Mittel zur Verfügung, um fast jedes Problem zu lösen. Agenten werden mit Hilfe von Formelsprache, LotusScript oder Java gestartet, oder laufen automatisiert, zu festgelegten Zeiten, beziehungsweise bei bestimmten Ereignissen. Was nun wenn ein anderes Programm den Notesagenten aufrufen soll? Und das vielleicht noch mit verschiedenen Parametern und der Fähigkeit Rückgabewerte auszuwerten? Unter Umständen ist hierbei nicht mal sicher gestellt das zum Zeitpunkt der Anfrage überhaupt der Server verfügbar ist. An dieser Stelle kommt unser AgentStarter, ein neues Tool welches sich auf diesen Seiten neben Planer, Chart & Co. einreiht, ins Spiel. Im folgenden soll ausführlich beschrieben werden wie der AgentStarter funktioniert und wozu man ihn benutzen kann...

The documentation and Online Help for Domino Designer R5 states that in order to hide a design element such as a view or folder, the name of the element should be enclosed in opening and closing parentheses, for example (All). In R5, however, design elements are hidden even when only the first character in the name is the opening left parentheses '(' character. In Domino 4.5 and 4.6, the entire name had to be enclosed in order to hide the design element. The following table illustrates the problem...

As a followup to last week's tip about preventing the totals row from appearing in a web view, someone pointed out that the view, as we described it, would not have alternating row colors. The ND6 server observes the alternating row colors if they are defined and our little trick to hide the totals would wipe that out. This week we'll combine two past tips to show you how to implement the alternate row colors if you're hiding the totals...

A step-by-step guide to installing the Notes client:
Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz recently did a fresh Windows install on a new desktop machine. As part of that enormously enjoyable process, he had to reinstall my Notes client. As he did so, he realized that in all the time we've been publishing DominoPower, we've never run a step-by-step set of instructions for doing a Notes client install. This article rectifies that...
Kudos, great analysis, and juvenile behavior:
Last week, we ran an article entitled "WebSphere and Workplace and Notes, oh my!" Apparently, the thoughts Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz put down in this article inspired some strong responses, both good and bad...

With the advent of ND6, Domino began supporting WebDAV, the web distributed authoring and versioning protocol.
