There is such a thing as trying to be TOO helpful...
Fri, Aug 27th 2010 11:26a Melissa Snell I don't know about the other developers out there, but I have often written LotusScript code that uses COM to manipulate Microsoft Office - printing to Word, creating spreadsheets with pivot tables and charts, creating Powerpoint presentations and so on. I actually quite enjoy doing this - particularly spreadsheets as I love manipulating data. I have an application that I wrote 3 or 4 years ago that manages sales orders and invoices. When the user wants to print the invoice documents they hit [read] Keywords: lotusscript

XPages developers - be wary of 8.5.1 FP4
Fri, Aug 27th 2010 11:26a Melissa Snell This seems to cause an error when you try to view an XPage that relates to "XSP not defined". I don't know what the cause of the issue is, only that it seems to be introduced when you apply FP4. One of my customers got this error on one server but not another. Upgrading the server to 8.5.2 resolved the issue. Not sure if it is recognised officially yet but there are more postings appearing about it so beware. [read] Keywords: xpages server

Mon, Jul 5th 2010 9:22a Melissa Snell One of the things that I found initially challenging about the new LotusScript Eclipse editor is that it appeared to drive a coach and horses through my old trick of matching up opening and closing statements by checking the column number of the code. For example if you had a series of nested "ifs" containing a lot of complex, badly commented code you could check which "end if" matched which "if" by positioning your cursor and checking the column number on the lower RHS of the designer client.

Jazzing up view columns on the web using JavaScript
Thu, Apr 1st 2010 12:22p Melissa Snell Sometimes we want to do things in a view that we know would impact performance or that simply aren't possible. I'll warn you up front that this is going to be "old school" but could still have useful applications in XPages. The Problem I was given a web application to work on where the home page was using multiple embedded single category views set to display using Java applet. Needless to say the load time on the page could be described as "poor" if one was feeling kind. I wanted to conve [read] Keywords: dblookup
