Viewing line managers inbox

LotusNotesNovice — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:55:56 +0000

Hi, I am a PA with access to my line managers lotus notes inbox however I cannot see which emails she has read and which she hasn’t as they do not change from red to black. I know she has read them but this is not reflecting in my view. Is this a feature of Lotus Notes as I have only ever used Outlook before where you could clearly see which emails had been read. Thanks!

Detecting MS excel is open in Citrix via Lotus Script

WeDontByte — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:22:38 +0000

I have an application that generates graphs using excel from data stored in a Lotus Notes Database. Once the graphs are created in excel,they are copied and pasted into a Rich Text Field in Lotus notes which is then displayed to the user so that the user never sees excel at all. However. If excel is already loaded by the user when lotusscript runs then depending on the amount of data in the graph, there is insufficient memory available to copy and paste the graph into Lotus Notes. To deal with this I wrote some code that unloads excel before running the graphing process which works fine. However the closing process was just terminating the excel session without asking the user to confirm saving of any open spreadsheets or workbooks resulting in a potential loss of data. So I’ve created a new function that will now check for the existence of excel and then ask the user to close excel manually before I proceed with graphing. Now this works fine on a pc or laptop when the user has a local version of Lotus Notes but not when the user is logged into Lotus notes via their Citrix account. In citrix excel is always reporting as being active even though it is not showing in the windows task manager. Do you know anyway of detecting loaded tasks in a citrix session so I can correctly identify whether excel is loaded or not. Thanks Vince

Creating an excel Spreadsheet via LotusScript

WeDontByte — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:23:15 +0000

I have created some code to create a series of MS Excel 2010 graphs using LotusScript then copy and paste them into a Lotus Notes Document. The Excel application is launched int he background so that the user only sees their notes session and not distracted by the excel application.

In order to keep things simple. (I thought). I have attached the Lotus Notes Template with all the charts definition onto a lotus Notes document in my database and this gets launched and data added to cells in order to render the predefined graphs.

In order for the excel application to launch the spreadsheet. I have to detatch it to the os file system then open it in my code.

HOME_DRIVE = “H”

Call o.ExtractFile(HOME_DRIVE & “” & o.Name) Set xlApp =CreateObject(“Excel.Application”) Call xlapp.Workbooks.Open (HOME_DRIVE & “” & o.name, 3)

However, the code works perfectly well when it’s on a computer/laptop on with a local copy of Lotus Notes. But it seems to be problematic when a user accessing Lotus Notes via Citrix tries to run the application. Citrix is where all end users access Lotus Notes.

So my question is how do I modify my code so that it can detect whether the user is in citrix or not and identify a drive where it can detatch and launch the Excel spreadsheet from?

Thanks

However this works perfectly well on a local computer/laptop with the notes client installed on the computer.

QueryOpen event in Lotus Notes

WeDontByte — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:44:28 +0000

If I am creating a response document that inherits values from an existing document. Do the computed When Composed fields expose their values in this event so that I can access them via lotuscript in the QueryOpen Event.

What I’m planning to do is to ensure that only one editable document of a particular form type is available for users to enter data into at any one time.

When the first document is completed and saved I will set the “SaveOptions” field to “0″ so that it cannot be further edited. So my plan is to locate this document if the user tries to create a new document based on the form, then and check SaveOptions Flag from the QueryOpen event to determine if I should either allow the new document or deny it based on the value of Save Options.

Thanks

Lotus Notes — Trying to send a calendar update to a distribution list…

Wschwager — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 23:00:09 +0000

The Calendar update sends to the rest of the distribution list, but not the person creating the calendar entry (who is on the distribution list). Is there a reason why even though this person is on the distribution list, she is not getting the email?
