Multiple Column Display Lotus Notes Field

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.

Yes, I know the title of this tip doesn’t mean much. But I couldn’t come up with a meaningful title in just a few words. So let me describe the situation. Let’s say you have a multi-value keyword fields that contains state names. And another multi-value keyword field that contains city names. The choices for the city names come from the selected state names. If you choose some cities, and then go back and remove a state, how do you eliminate those selected cities that are no longer choices?

Lotus Notes Access Level – Deny Access vs Full Access Administrators

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.

From the Administrator Help file, here’s information on the Full Access Administrators field:

Using the Notes client with Hotmail (or not)

I actually set up two Hotmail accounts because I didn’t realize Microsoft had instituted parental controls. During the setup of “NotesTest,” I randomly chose a birth year. Suddenly I was 8 years old again and the program wanted my parents’ permission before completing setup.

When I tried to change my age it wanted my credit card information. Now I was in a loop. I could either get my parents’ permission or give Microsoft a credit card number. To get out of the loop I closed my browser. I could comment that any 8-year-old enterprising enough to set up a Web account would be able to find Mommy’s credit card number, but I won’t. I finally got in as “NotesTestt2″ – an adult – and created some mail.

Microsoft has changed Hotmail to Windows Live Hotmail and the servers are no longer “hotmail.com” but “live.com” making “hotmail.com” an alias. In doing so they limited POP3 capabilities and linked the ID to a number of other programs.

Using the Lotus Notes Client with Gmail

Step 1

In Gmail, under Settings, “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” select to Enable POP — either for all your mail or everything starting today. “All Mail” appears to have a rolling date and, once you’re set up, it only sees mail newer than 7 days ago that hasn’t already been downloaded. I set up the account on Monday, created some mail, re-installed the Notes client several times over the next few days, and by Friday I wasn’t getting all the messages from the Gmail Inbox. Two weeks later, after several more re-installs, nothing came down.

I needed to reconfigure Gmail to “enable POP for all mail, including mail that’s already been downloaded”.
