A few years ago, I ran an article about installing the Notes 6 client. I honestly didn't expect it to be particularly popular, because most of our readers were pretty high-level IT folks. But, suprisingly, I got a relatively large number of "thank you" letters about the article. Apparently, our readers were using the article to save time. It turns out they were sending the article's URL to their users and telling their users to follow the steps, rather than making a "house call" for each new Notes install. So, now that Notes 7 is here, it's time to update the article for the new release...

Have you ever dealt with someone having a local replica of a database and not replicating it on a regular basis? Then you have probably seen a lot of previously deleted documents "reappear" on the server. When it does happen, you can look at the "added in this file" document property to see when the actual document was created on the server. Unfortunately, this property is not available to LotusScript. But it is listed when you look at the XML of the document. This tip is the first in a two-part series showing how to get this value programmatically...

For a recent project, I needed the ability to compute the number of days between two dates. In Notes formula language, this is pretty easy to do. But I needed it done on the web. After a little searching, I found a piece of code on http://javascript.internet.com that I was able to modify to fit my needs. I modified the code to be a generic function, and thought I'd share it...

I recently had a need to repeat a string using JavaScript. I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but at the time I couldn't find anything good on the internet to do it (maybe I wasn't searching for the right stuff). This function will take a string and repeats it "x" times, up to a maximum length...

Hello DominoSecurity readers, in my last newsletter, I urged an upgrade to 6.5.5 and 7.0.1 for security reasons. Thanks to one of the readers on this list, I have become aware of a feature problem in the Notes client software 6.5.5. If this feature is important to you, you may want to keep your Notes client software at 6.5.4 and wait for a later release.The problem is that calendar delegation does not work properly after upgrading a Notes workstation to 6.5.5. The delegatee cannot create repeating events, reschedule meetings, or edit a meeting in the delegater's calendar. This is a serious, possibly show-stopper, issue for many Notes organizations, since calendar delegation is so widely used. Lotus has confirmed the existence of this problem and slated a fix for 6.5.6, which is scheduled for January 2007. In my opinion, this is too long to wait, since calendar delegation is common. I have expressed this opinion to Lotus via the Partner Forum. Note that this problem is related to the Notes 6.5.5 client software. The problem does not appear to be in the 6.5.5 Domino server or web browser access to a 6.5.5 server. Also, no one has reported the same issue with Notes 7.0.1...

When people used to ask me what I wanted for Christmas, I always said, "Please give me a way I can get into an evil user's mail file without sparking up the client on the server or mapping a drive to the server." Santa gave me what I wanted in Release 6 -- the wonderful functionality called Full Access Administrator...

Open Slice is an application framework for Lotus Notes applications. It is not an application itself, but rather the bottom layer of any application - the first slice of your application sandwich if you will. Open Slice is designed to provide most of the basic elements that any Notes application requires. This allows developers to skip the basic stuff, and get right to the "meat" of the application...

Periodically, certificates associated with a server ID expire. When this occurs, the ID needs to be recertified. To recertify a server ID, the administrator must have either Author access to the Domino directory and the ServerModifier role assigned or Editor access to the directory. In addition, the administrator must have Author access or greater to the certification log. The following steps allow a server ID to be recertified...

Please note that this post does not address the complexities of migrating entire Microsoft Exchange installations. For this there are IBM tools as well as some 3rd party solutions that I really prefer. After reading through the below example you'll see that this approach really doesn't work for larger migrations but might work well for migrating individual users coming into your organization with an existing Outlook Express installation. Migrate contacts from the address book by exporting them as vCards and then import these into the personal NAB of the user...

From within this parent container document you want to be able to quickly change the order in which the child documents appear. Sound familiar?
