Recently I was working on an application and had a need to show information in multiple columns in Lotus Notes to save screen space. The source field was going to contain somewhere around 30 items, but the exact number was unknown. And the values to display we’re short, either. Although I’m not at liberty to say exactly what the values were, a good example would be capitals for each of the United States of America. The user would pick somewhere around 30 state capitals and the values would be shown.

First, I’ll address the accessibility side of the menu. To make the menu available to screen readers, the menu options are placed in standard HTML ordered and unordered lists. Each list element has clickable text that takes you to the appropriate location. I’ll omit the actual HREF values (you can view the source and see them for yourself), but here is the HTML used to generate the menu:

The new formula is @UpdateFormulaContext in Lotus Notes, and all it does, in lay terms, is switch where the code is running. For example, if you compose a document, normally the code would continue to run where you were before the document was composed. But using the new @-function tells the Lotus Notes 6 client that the code should now run in the composed document.

Replication/Save conflicts document are a necessary in a distributed environment like Lotus Notes. A developer can do all he/she can to minimize conflicts through things like setting the form properties to merge conflicts if possible and using document locking in Notes 6. But maybe document locking is something that can’t be implemented, because your users aren’t on Notes 6 yet or because the application is really distributed (users with local replicas and no network access can edit existing documents). In that case, you’re bound to have conflicts and will need to deal with them.

In Lotus Notes Web, You’re probably familiar with the famous formula:
@ReplaceSubstring(@Subset(@DbName; -1); “\\” : ” “; “/” : “+”)
which will take the path to the current database and make it “browser-friendly”.

I always thought that “Deny Access” was the be-all, end-all. But apparently not. If someone is listed in both the “Full Access Administrators” list and the “Deny Access” list for the server, they will still be able to access the server. The “Full Access Administrators” trumps the “Deny Access” setting.

Why are deleted documents reappearing?
A purge interval prevents replication of deletions
When a document is deleted, it leaves behind a deletion stub. When the database replicates, the deletion stub is used to identify and delete the same document in the replica. To save disk space, Notes purges deletion stubs that remain from document deletions according to the replication setting “Remove documents that have not been modified within the last [ ] days.” If Notes purges the deletion stubs before they have a chance to replicate, deleted documents can reappear after the next replication.
