Automatically create connection documents

When you have are working at a customer, you sometimes find that the customer does not has the same notesserver name as the machinename and has not setup a Wins or DNS server. So then you'll have to create the connection documents.

WELL, let the notesclient create them....

Just press CTRL-O to show the database open dialog and type in the IPaddress of the server.

Now hit the open button and you will see when the client connects to the server in the statusbar "connection document created"

(Check the local names.nsf and you will see an automatically created connection document.)

Works with version 5.07a and higher.
