Header / Footer items are of type Richtext and you cannot modify them directly using standard LotusScript.

I’ ve put together all the necessary code and wrapped the API calls into a class to achive the goal. The class works on Windows and Linux. Mac support is possible but I have no Mac to test with.

I wanted to debug Lotusscript on my VM Linux Box. The OS is Ubuntu 9.10 and the client is Notes 8.5.1.
When I switch on the debugger and step into the script, the debugger loses focus on every step, regardless if you use the mouse or F8.

Anyone else having the same problem? Not sure if it Continue reading →

I am researching the Calendar Cleanup action in the Lotus Notes Calendar view.
The action executes a LotusScript agent that has two undocumented db calls CreateArchiveSettings and ArchiveNowByPolicy. The functions are used since the feature was introduced in Notes 7.
Obviously nobody ever looked into the code as there are no Google search results except this post Continue reading →

The admin client shows information about logical / physical size as well as DAOS size for a database.

But how to get this information via LotusScript? For the logical size you can use db.size. For the physical size there is no property in the NotesDatabase Class. But C-API to the rescue.
Put the following piece of code Continue reading →

Here is a quick post in addition to my recent post on how to get sums / subtotals for a given category in a view with LotusScript.

Assume, you want to get the total number of solved tickets. In my sample the value in question is located in column 7 at the very end of the Continue reading →

Here is a list of yet undocumented values for the GetOtion / SetOption method of the NotesDatabase class.
GetOption(82) / SetOption(82,true) = Enable Compress document data
GetOption(81) / SetOption(81,true) = Use DAOS
Use DAOS also created a new field $DAOS in the NotesIcon design note if the field is not available and update the field value to 1 Continue reading →

Today, I was looking for which value to use with the SetOption method of the Notesdatabase class, I discovered as few other undocumented values that can be used to get and set some database options programmatically using Lotus Script.
75 = Support Response Thread History
76 = Don’t allow simple search
And, finally for the new Option in Continue reading →

Last month I wrote about the new “Disable View Export” feature in Notes 8.0.2. In another post I stated that it is not possible to set this option programmatically using LotusScript.
Yesterday I stumbled upon an IBM Lotus Software Knowledgebase technote. This technote says that
Enabling or disabling of this option can also be done using an Continue reading →

In Lotus Notes /Domino 8.0.2 you can disable the export of view data by selecting this option in the application properties. To programmatically check if the export is disabled, you can use the following LotusScript.

Function IsExportDisabled () As Boolean
IsExportDisabled = False
Dim s As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
Dim IconDoc As NotesDocument
Set IconDoc Continue reading →

I recently posted an idea on IdeaJam to enhance the mail rules dialog on a Domino server to overcome the restriction of only use the “hard coded” conditions. There have been several attemps to enhance the dialog in the past ( Chris Linfoot for example ), but none of them adresses the use of a Continue reading →
