If anyone can help I would surely appreciate it. About three weeks ago one of my users reported that she could not open previous records in one of our R5 databases that until then had been trouble-free. It is about 68 Mb in size, and the property sheet allows it to go to 2 Gb. When trying to...

I am struggling with how to design the tables for an inventory database for our company. What is giving me problems is that we have 3 levels of inventory; WIP, Packed Goods, and Shipped Goods. Of course, what gets packed comes out of WIP, and what gets shipped comes out of Packed Goods. We are...

A user has asked me to add a lookup value to an existing field on a form. The new lookup looks for values (amount of scrap)on a given date to be added to the scrap on a different form (different sources of scrap) to get a total scrap amount. The formula looks like this...

I am working on an existing database in order to make modifications for its primary user. She needs a form to do a part price lookup, so I created a new form to input the part number and price into. Since lookups require a view to work from, I have created a new view using a blank template in...

I have to import into Excel a tab-delimited file from another application from which to generate a new spreadsheet on a daily basis. The result is a sheet with numerous rows of unneeded data which have to be manually deleted. Is there a way to write a macro (or VBA script) which will delete a...

I have a user running Office XP who uses Word as the default email editor. When sending a new email, clicking on the "To" button fails to bring up the Outlook address book. The address book and Contacts folder work properly otherwise. I've already checked to see if the contacts folder...

Last week a very important Notes database began giving this error whenever any record was selected. I tried fixup, checked all the settings (which match those for all the other databases which work just fine), refreshed the design, and none of this worked. Yesterday I wound up restoring the...

I am running Notes/Domino 5.0 on my server. Last week a frequently-used database failed for some unknown reason. When I checked the file size, it was 786k, instead of the normal 21+MB. I restored the database file from a backup tape made a day earlier, and it worked again - for about a day. It...

I have a user who, for no apparent reason, is suddenly unable to forward mail to other users. Notes gives the message "You are not authorized to perform that function". Nobody else has this problem. Anyone have any suggestions? We are running Notes and Domino 5.06a. Any help greatly...

I am running a Domino/Notes system that was set up by my predecessor. Up until recently I have had no problems adding, deleting, etc. users from the system. Now when I try to do so, it tells me I am not authorized, even though I am switching to the ID (his)that has always allowed me to do so in...

A user who has since left the company created a database and allowed only himself to manage the ACL. Even logged on as administrator, I am unable to change it. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I have a Notes user whose account keeps "dying". I have nuked and re-created the account several times the past week, and it will work for about a day before crapping out. She can access all the databases she has access to, but she can't access her own mail file. Even though when I...

I have a form that requires a sign-off to be completed, and according to our procedure, I am the only person authorized to do the signoff. How do I define the field or what kind of formula can I use to accomplish this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Due to numerous unsolvable problems on my Win2K server, I performed a clean re-install a couple of weeks ago. There are a couple of problems with it, however. First of all, it won't allow me to view the properties of the network via the desktop icon. Second, it will not install Service Pack 2...

Yesterday my win2K server reared its ugly head and started giving me fits when assigning users' rights to folders and files. First, when doing any kind of modifications, it takes forever if it finishes at all. There are lots of files that, when attempting to modify the permissions, tell me I...

My Win2k server is cripled to the point where it may be necessary to nuke it and rebuild the whole thing from scratch. The only unknown factor is the Domino Server software on it. It was all set up before my arrival, so I've no experience at installing and configuring Domino. Anyone have direct...

Here's the situation. I have a 2000 server as Domain Controller running Lotus Domino and also acting as file server. It is not connected to the Internet. A few weeks ago it began to act flaky (takes forever to bring up Active Directory), then Friday just went beserk. First, it "lost&quot...

In my attempts to get a simple .bat file to run when my users log onto the win2K server, I have read and done everything posted in TechTips, but to no avail. I placed the .bat file in my C:\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\yourdomainname\scripts folder, gone into the environment of the user's properties and...

I read the reply from davedesign on how to get a new page to load when a Flash movie has ended, but I'm so green at Flash, I didn't understand it fully. Where does getURL ("yourhtmlpage.com", "_self"); go? Is it inserted into the html, or is it a behavior? If someone with...
