TOP 10 DEVELOPER TIPS OF 2007----------
#1. A
flexible data export agent for Lotus Notes
Get a LotusScript data export agent that allows Lotus Notes users to define any number of their own
export configurations (field lists and output files) -- without programming.
#2. A
single form to view and edit any Lotus Notes document
Discover how you can build a dynamic HTML form to view and edit Lotus Notes documents using a Web
browser.
#3. Creating
and adding to multi-value fields within LotusScript
It's a little bit tricky to create multi-value fields in LotusScript, particularly for a time-date
or number field, but it can be done. SearchDomino.com contributor Chuck Connell explains how.
#4. Export
Notes data to Microsoft Excel using the ADODB.Recordset object
Learn how to export a large amount of Lotus Notes data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using
LotusScript, the ADODB.Recordset object and SQL.
#5. Creating
Microsoft Word documents from Lotus Notes
Find out how to create Microsoft Word documents from a back-end Lotus Notes database using Java
code.
#6. Export
Lotus Notes documents to Microsoft Word via Internet Explorer
Use this shared agent from SearchDomino.com member Venugopal Reddy to automatically open a Lotus
Notes document in Internet Explorer and then copy and paste it into Microsoft Word using the
user32.dll Windows system file.
#7. Editing
fields in a Lotus Notes view with Ajax
Instead of opening a Lotus Notes view in a pop-up window, editing it and then saving it again, you
can modify fields directly using Ajax. SearchDomino.com member Jinoy George explains how.
#8. How
to automatically create a backup copy of your Domino Directory
This agent automatically creates a backup copy of your Domino Directory. You'll never again need to
restore documents back to your Domino Directory or check old configurations.
#9. How
to protect your Lotus Notes application design
SearchDomino.com member Jim Mck explains how to hide your Lotus Notes database design, so no one
can make design changes or copy your application's source code.
#10. Update
Lotus Notes documents after an employee last-name change
After a last-name change, a Lotus Notes user may no longer have proper access to Lotus Notes
documents, because they still contain her old last name. This LotusScript utility from
SearchDomino.com member Scott Huyser solves that problem. It updates all documents in the Lotus
Notes database with the employee's new last name.
