A walk down Memory Lane with Lotus Notes
DominoPower Magazine - October 2009

When the debugger won't debug hidden code that isn't hidden
DominoPower Magazine - June 2009
Looking carefully at your workspace, you notice a strange little message in the status area: "Debug request ignored. Source code hidden." You're in Notes and you've enabled the debugger.

Numeric vs. text fields in application design
DominoPower Magazine - November 2007
When designing applications, consider carefully whether the value you are keeping really is a number that you will use in arithmetic calculations, or whether it is just a text string that contains numeric characters. You won't regret those few extra moments in your application design process when you see the extra robustness of the application and its greater resilience to change. In this helpful article, Senior Technical Editor Mick Moignard helps you understand where you could go wrong, even if you do it by the numbers.
Faking Notes profile names
DominoPower Magazine - November 2007
Under Notes 5.x it was easy to enter a fake name into a Profile document; you simply typed in something and saved it. The client complained, but it still accepted non-hierarchical names like "Annalee's Astounding Addenda" or "Expense Reporting Dept". But, in Notes 6.x and 7.x, you can't type in the field. You have to select a name from an address book. Nancy Hand discusses how to get around this limitation.

Dynamic view filtering in Notes
DominoPower Magazine - April 2006
There's been one question that has been asked over and over again by Notes developers: "How can I parameterise a Notes view selection?" The answer was always "You can't" because it is the server that maintains the view, and at the time the server does the view, there's no opportunity to customise a view for one particular user. Ah, but you can and Senior Technical Editor Mick Moignard will show you how.

A step-by-step guide to installing the Notes 7.0 client
DominoPower Magazine - March 2006
A few years ago, we ran an article about installing the Notes 6 client. We honestly didn't expect it to be particularly popular, because most of our readers were pretty high-level IT folks. But, suprisingly, we 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.
The Notes calendar: scheduling to infinity and beyond!
DominoPower Magazine - February 2006
