Well that's what I would do too, but I've inherited 29,000 users set up the way I've described...

I am using a local journal database (journal.nsf) in NOtes client v5. When created, Notes put in on the c:\Lotus\Notes\data directory by default, but I want it to run from a network drive where all my other 'local' files are (eg h:\notes\data) For names.nsf and desktop5.dsk I've added entries...

I have a user who only works on Tuesday to Thursday, and has asked me to set up her Out of Office agent so it automatically switches on every Friday morning and then switches off again on Monday evening. At the moment she does this manually, but often forgets or doesn't have time to do it, and...

thanks for your replies.... sawedoff - none of my contacts have fax numbers listed. I think you're right that I'm stuck with it though! rwf36 - the 'name for display' you are talking about doesn't appear where you say it does (could be because I'm using Outlook 98??). I have found "John Smith...

sorry about the trivial nature of this question, but it's something that really annoys me.... When I send an email to somebody in my personal Contacts list, eg John Smith, it lists him as "John Smith (E-mail)". how do I get rid of the "(E-mail)" part? (obviously I would be sending an email to...

I have given a project by my employer to locate a hundred or so laptops that are somewhere in the organisation - they could be at any number of locations around the UK!! The only details I have are a list of MAC addresses. I am hoping there's a tool which will allow me to connect via the MAC...

I've tried this but with no joy - didn't really know whether what I did was correct, and I'm not sure how my employer will react to me trying to change security policy... Is there another way I can do this easily, on one PC only, on a temporary basis??

I have XP Pro and Powerpoint 2002 - it seems when I change the macro security settings from medium (the default) to low, it immediately changes back to medium. I am in the 'Administrator' group on my PC. Can I force the settings to change to low via the registry? As it currently stands, I get...

I have a spreadsheet that has some buttons on it, but when I try to view the code behind them I am prompted for the VB Project password. I don't know this password, and the person who put the spreadsheet together left the company years ago so I can;t find it out. Can I 'crack' this in some way??

I am using Hotsync 4.1 to synchronise with my Notes 6 client - the synch runs through OK but I get the 'view log' option when it has completed. the message in the log shows "Date Book - Item ID '0' from Notes - subject "" - start date is more then 150 years in the past or in the future". I've...

I am having trouble deleting entries from my Lotus Notes (version 5 client on NT4) calendar - get the message "Function requires valid ADT argument". After OKing the message, the entry will then appear in the calendar view with a line through it. I can navigate to the Trash folder in...

I have recently re-installed Intellisync v5.0 for Palm, hoping to synch with a Lotus Notes v5 client. I ran a custom installation and only selected the Notes 5 translator, but when it comes to configuring the app, there is a whole list of other versions available (even though I de-selected...

If you do the above, the Planning Wizard brings up the *&*$*ing paperclip highlighting that there's a scheduling conflict. If you OK this message, then the Gantt chart looks the same as the problem one. However, my one does this WITHOUT DEFINING ANY CONSTRAINTS - ie by default for ANY tasks in...

I should add that Lag shows as 0 days, so it's not that....

I have set up two linked tasks with a 'finish to start' dependency, but the second task does not move to the end of the first one, they both still show as starting on the same day. This seems to be the default in my copy of Project - not just one particular file - and I can't recreate the...
