Hi,

In our application it’s a common task to delete document but before granting the deletion, we want to be able to discard the modification…

Here the simpliest soft delete agent in your database, it juste rename the form name which should be enough in every lotus application.

FIELD Form := “DELETED_” + Form;
SELECT @All

Just put all this code in a lotus notes agent and you’re done !

Greetings.

When trying to include png images, you will be stuck with these old clients… one simple workaround found on the www…

Lotus Notes does not support importing of PNG images into Rich Text by default but you can add that feature by adding the following line to your Notes Clients notes.ini file:

EDITIMP18=PNG Image,0,_IW4W,,.PNG,,8,

In our last article we have seen how to start word from JAVA. Now we will start word with a document in parameter and then we will put an autoopen marcro in our document.

JAVA – Code

String sCmd ;

sCmd = “C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\winword.exe ” + “\”c:\\Mes documents\\Doc3.doc\”" ;

try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(sCmd);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

This will start word with a special document.

The next step is how to autostart the VB code.

You can put in your document macro the autoopen, which will automatically starts when the document is launch

VB – Code in the document

Sub autoopen()

Load UserForm1
UserForm1.Show

End Sub

Ok, this is a simple way to starts VB from JAVA. Of course you can’t synchronise your programs and also you can’t pass parameters. This is not a perfect integration but it can helps you to reuse easily something which exists already on your system.
Of course it breaks the main advantage of JAVA to be multi-system, but the world isn’t perfect… for now.

Greetings.

After sometimes of laziness, (I’m too much playing with facebook and twitter) I’m back on my blog…

Which one of you is an old enough notes freak to remember the dusty old console which was the bread and butter of the dark age of the domino administration ? at this time to administrate a notes server you only need a strong knowledge of the domino directory and a simple console… old good times !

The old console remains in lotus notes today, and you can call it which a simple macro :

@Command([AdminRemoteConsole]) ;

Of course you need the rights to do it, it could be very useful when you are stuck with a “simple” notes client…
