I noticed someone in the forums complaining that the Notes client didn't have any option to reverse the case of text, and it occurred to me that it shouldn't be too difficult to write an agent or action button to do this. I've done it two ways, one to change all the text in the Body field, one to do selected text only. Here's the one to change the whole Body field. Note this assumes nobody is writing in the Kaithi alphabet, which is used temporarily to represent lowercase letters while we find and replace the uppercase letters to lowercase...

I've been doing a lot of programming in LotusScript recently using linked lists, and refining my technique. This might be old news to some of you but I thought I'd mention it. And what I'm saying here in part applies specifically to LotusScript, but in part to any language that does reference counting.
LotusScript memory management is not perfect, and I've encountered situations where it gets hung up when deallocating memory, particularly when there are object references that go across script libraries (a class in Library A contains a reference to an object whose class is declared in Library B). The more you deallocate objects yourself with a Delete statement, the better your chances of not having a problem...

How do you send a design element, like a form, from one Domino database to another? One way to do this is to simply cut and paste the design elements.

You could mail the entire database, but, then you might be sending more than you wanted. Another way is to cut and paste the design elements into a new blank database. This tip will present a better way to export and then import design elements using DXL. DXL is a way to express a Domino object (document or design) in an XML file format.

One little annoyance I've had is the need during testing to see and change the values of lines in my notes.ini file while the client is running. I either had to shut down the client, edit the notes.ini, and then restart Notes, or else write a special LotusScript control -- maybe a button in the body of a draft Memo -- to assign the value. (The ENVIRONMENT statement or @Environment in macro language can set an ini variable, but not a 'system' one). Add to this the difficulty of remembering the names of all the relevant ini variables, because if they don't already have a value, they're probably not in the file at all, so you can't search for the line to change it. To make this work more smoothly, I wrote a LotusScript agent in my bookmark.nsf file...

How to retrieve POP mail from a non-Domino server: Contributing Editor Nancy Hand is back with another story from the support trenches. This time,she's retrieving POP mail from a non-Domino server.
Deleting corrupt icons may save your Notes database: A few weeks ago, in "Before you reinstall the Notes client, try this", we discussed some ways to clear up problems dealing with mail files. In response, Marleen Overkamp, a senior application developer with Exedra Solutions in The Netherlands, had some interesting suggestions.

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...

We first mentioned OpenNTF.org (at http://www.openNTF.org) back in 2002, in an article about the changing world of Domino development. After happily talking to many very nice, but slightly wacky OpenNTF T-shirt wearing developers at Lotusphere, I realized we'd never done an article specifically about this very useful resource...

As an Admin/sometime developer, I tend to run multiple Notes clients on one system. Having R4, R5, and R6 on one machine never really posed much of a problem (and before you ask, no, I am NOT running R4 and/or R5 on my system). But I discovered today that adding R7 to the mix changes things. I attempted to install R7 on my machine and never was able to change the default locations for the program and data directories. Tried a couple of times. Nothing. So, in a moment of clarity, I looked at the Readme file (yeah, who would have guessed that I would do that). From the Notes R7 Readme file...

Two things got me excited this weekend. Both of them related in a sense. First was Ruby on Rails. Second was Prototype JavaScript Framework. Related because Rails ships with the Prototype library. More on Rails tomorrow. For now, let's talk about Prototype... Anyway, last week I had cause to use Ajax again and this time I wanted to make sure I was doing it the right/best way. Prototype.js seemed to be the way to go. If it's good enough for Rails it's good enough for me. At first I thought I'd use the library just for making Ajax calls. However, I soon found myself using other parts of it to make the rest of my coding a lot simpler and slicker. I then went on to update the Ajax @DBLookup database to use Prototype.js...

I changed the code for my project "Wendy" once again. In the former version of nstart.exe, the file had to be copied to the Notes executable directory. This is no longer necessary now; you can copy nstart.exe to i.e the "root" directory of your USB key, regardless of where your Notes Client is installed. nstart.exe locates the notes.ini and notes.exe, makes the necessary changes and starts the client...

Not long back I was working on a "feedback" form for a website. The clients wanted a basic rich text editor for the Message/Body field. Simple enough. The message field is a a standard Notes Rich Text field and saved as Passthru HTML in the backend document. Another requirement of the system was that it worked in browsers with no JavaScript support. This is where I hit a snag...

Awhile back I posted about my littleSignature File Wizard that I had created. Basically it allows you to mail a self-contained feature to a Notes mail user, and they can go through some steps and create a nice little signature block. After Lotusphere I dug that code up and updated it with the "Yellow is the New Black" theme and one of the logos floating around...

For a recent project, there was a need to show (on the web) documents created "today". There are a number of ways to do this, including using time sensitive formulas (either @Today or @Now) in a view. This is a new way of doing it that doesn't involve time sensitive formulas in views or scheduled agents...

Microsoft SQL Server. It's the golden database child of small to mid-sized IT departments. Without trying to spark any kind of religious debate over the merits of SQL Server versus MySQL versus Oracle versus whatever, let's just agree that SQL Server is pretty pervasive. And therefore, it's a technology that we'll want to "talk to" on occasion.
Programming Lotus Notes to access fields and tables and views on SQL Server is pretty much a cake walk. You can use LS:DO or DECS or ADO COM objects to grab them just like you would any other relational database, and use regular SQL calls to retrieve and manipulate data. No big magic there.... Here are some techniques you might find handy...

Lately, I have made several agents that read web pages and analyze the contents, and I know that I'm not the only one doing this. However, most people seem to use either Java or the MS COM object WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1. I don't. I haven't yet learned how to use Java, and I found limitations in using the MS COM object. Instead, I use the built-in functionality of the Notes/Domino Web Navigator with LotusScript. This is how I use this functionality, and hopefully, it can help someone else out there...

When dealing with lists (arrays) in formula language, every once in a while you want to remove an entry from the list. There are slick ways of doing this with @Replace or other ways, but those have their drawbacks. For example, with @Replace, if there are duplicate entries in the list both will be removed (that may or may not be desired). This code, although a little longer than those "slick" ways, is pretty easy to follow and removes one and only one element from a list in formula language...

Most Web applications use a request/response model that gets an entire HTML page from the server. The result is a back-and-forth that usually involves clicking a button, waiting for the server, clicking another button, and then waiting some more. With Ajax and the XMLHttpRequest object, you can use a request/response model that never leaves users waiting for a server to respond. In this article, Brett McLaughlin shows you how to create XMLHttpRequest instances in a cross-browser way, construct and send requests, and respond to the server...
