Where to find answers to your Notes and Domino questions
IBM, Lotus and their partners provide a lot of documentation and training. Somewhere in the community of developers, administrators, and users, there is bound to be someone who can provide the answers you need. The biggest hurdle can be in finding where to look for information. This is not a complete list. Actually, it's a very short list, just to get you started.
Faking Notes profile names
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.
Get with the gratitude
Thanksgiving is upon us here in the United States. While the true history of Thanksgiving is subject to some controversy (isn't pretty much everything, these days?) there are certain elements of the modern Thanksgiving celebration we can all take to heart -- even for those of you who don't live in these United States. We discuss those in this article, and end with a must-read caution for anyone going out and buying stuff on Black Friday.
Numeric vs. text fields in application design
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.
