A client of ours sent us the notes client to use to receive drug results from an MRO (Medical Review Officer). When we place the client on one user's computer, they access the information by logging into the Lotus client. However when we place the same client onto another user's computer, they can't view what was on the first user's computer. So I thought that I would be able to place the lotus client on the server, share the notes folder and then place a shortcut on each user's desktop. When they go to open notes they receive the following error: Unable to access data directory '\\servername\c:\notes\data' using preferences file 'c:\notes\notes.ini'.
Any ideas? Or would this be a no go since we don't run Domino? _____________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 ccoo...@aurico.com From: richardmccl...@aspca.org [mailto:richardmccl...@aspca.org] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 9:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Lotus Notes <rant> <rem> I had just finished a major Lotus Nots client issue when your message hit my Inbox. </rem> I don't know about 6.5; we're a 7.0.2 shop. I do know that it is all too easy to break things! Our phone system needs a Lotus Nots client (since we're a Lotus Nots shop) to process and deliver voice mail messages. It crapped out on us early this morning, so 3 voice mail messages were not delivered. LOTS of work getting the message information out to the appropriate people in a timely manner! Not that easy to to re-install the Nots client when it breaks that way, either. </rant> In a full Domino shop, v7, in the client, one can click the big blue tab at the top of the mail window (below all the menus, tabs, etc) and choose to open their calendar, or "Open another person's mail". If mail account permissions are set correctly, one can open all the mailboxes on the other accounts. One might be able to do this (again, we're not 6.5) by using the top menus, "File -> Database -> Open" and browse to the mailboxes on the server. Of coarse, this only works if the mailboxes are on the server, and that each persons Nots session reads (rather than download-and-delete) from the server. Don't know if this would work for you or not. Also wondering why one would use a Nots client in an Exchange environment (but I'm sure you'd like to see the end of this - probably something you inherited.) -- Richard D.
