Is there a way to create a regular web (or anchor) link that will open a Notes client and display a pre-determined database from the workplace?
try this for a local database: notes:///[drive]:/[path_to_notes_data]/[database.nsf]
This will open the database in the notes-client.

Thorsten
Thorstens answer should work for databases on servers aswell:
notes://[server name]/[path-to-database-on-server]
..or
notes://[server name]/__[replica-id].nsf
The Notes client seems to replace "/" with "#" in the server name to create a server name without slashes - but the host name or ip of the server should work.
I believe that leaving the server name out (or specifying 127.0.0.1) will use the currently active replica on the desktop - possibly with priority to local replicas.
notes:///__[replica-id].nsf
Some details can be found in the footnote here: Specifying valid notesurl entries

When I logged in to the same IIS using different alias, the name on the local host is different. I didn't change or do anything differently since the creation of this IIS. How it shows different names on different login account is unexplainable.
May I know if I make change on my end to match the one on the role account, it will not break things on this server. I checked with other admins, they see what the role account sees. I am the only person that has name mismatched (it shows DEV instead of PROD).
This is what I see when I log in as me under IIS connection DEVAPP01 (.../Luu). And this is what I see when I log in as a role account PRODAPP01 (..../roleAccountp1 So sorry the website doesn't allow me to post image yet. I'm new to stackoverflow and hope I can get some advice here.
Changing the label is easy but I would like to make sure it doesn't break anything since this is PROD environment. Thx
Regards,
I figured this out (with the help from our cloud team of course). I was told that at one point, the server was named DEVAPP01, later it was renamed to something else and I still connected to the wrong name on the same server. To solve this problem, I:
In the IIS under connection, select Connect to Server and put in the right IIS name which is PRDAPP01, once I got in there, I saw two IIS 1) DEVAPP01 and 2) PRDAPP01
Select the wrong IIS name which was DEVAPP01 and right click and select Remove Connection (this option seated below Refresh)
Problem solved!!!
Thanks to my great cloud team from my company.
I have Domino Server running locally. I can assess for example the log.nsf and names.nsf databases in the browser (ie. http://localhost/log.nsf).
But I also created my own databases for example test.nsf
when visiting http://localhost/test.nsf, I see this:
Error 404
HTTP Web Server: IBM Notes Exception - File does not exist
What do I need to do to access views and agents from my own created databases
I try to -basically- answer this from the dialog that we had in the comments:
IBM Notes / Domino is a Client- Server solution where IBM Domino is the server and IBM Notes is the client.
Usually you work with the client and connect to the server that is on another machine.
Notes client is -by default- installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Notes and the Data- directory (containing the personal addressbook of the user named names.nsf, the bookmarks and desktop and the client log.nsf) is in C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Notes\Data (ignoring multiuser setup on purpose as it makes things to complicated).
A Domino server is -again by default- installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Domino, its data directory is in C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Domino\Data.
There is a names.nsf and a log.nsf there as well, but names.nsf is the Domino Directory of the server and log.nsf the log of... you guess.
Now one can of course install Notes and Domino on the same machine, but still they are two distinct programs.
To access Databases from a Domino server, you NEVER access them directly via file system but use the Open- Dialog to open them from the server.
If you want to access the files via admin- client (that can be installed along with the Notes Client), then you select "Open Server" from the File- Menu to access it. AGAIN: Don't access server files "directly" although they are on the same machine.
When creating new databases (from client or admin) select the Server to create them, NOT "Local".
What is the problem with the question: You created a database in the Data- directory of the client. The server does NOT know of this database as it has its own Data- directory. it will show the message you wrote.
Create it in the Data- Directory of the server instead then it will work.
Of course one could just copy the database from Notes\Data to Domino\Data.
But this will -by default- not work either: Out of the box the Notes Client encrypts every local database with the user's ID file. When copied over to Domino the server will not be able to read it. You need to decrypt to database before copy, you can do that in the properties of the database.
All together seems, that you need a training for whatever you try to do, otherwise this question will be your least problem.

Hi this works on Lotus Notes Client but doesn't work on web Any help is welcome thanks in advance!
There are typically three types of root causes for something like this.
One type of problem is server trust. This only applies if there are two servers involved. I.e., the web server is ServerX/SSS and the code is trying to access ARRoW/SSS. You need to review ARRoW/SSS's server document and check whether "ServerX/SSS" is listed in the field for "Trusted servers". (Also note that if this is a really, really old version of Domino - before version 6 if I recall correctly - then the trusted servers feature is not there and you cannot make cross-server calls to #DbLookup in web code.)
The second type of problem is that the server where the code is running can not resolve the name of the server where the database lives. The code is accessing server ARRoW/SSS, but you haven't said whether ARRoW/SSS is the actual web server, so let's look at both cases.
Assuming that it is all happening on one server, there can still be a name resolution problem because of the way the formula is coded. Try specifying "":"sss/sssProj.nsf" instead of "ARRoW/SSS":"sss/sssProj.nsf". If that fixes your problem, great! But it means that you still have a problem either in your server document or with the DNS configuration on your Domino server and you should address that. You should probably continue with the troubleshooting that I give in the next paragraph. Just bear in mind that everything I say there is true even if ServerX/SSS is really the same as Arrow/SSS.
If the code is running on web server ServerX/SSS, then you need to make sure that ServerX can connect to ARRoW/SSS. The easiest way to do this is to bring up the console for ServerX and enter the command 'trace ARRoW/SSS'. If it fails, check the server documents and/or connection documents for correct IP addresses or host names, and open a command window on the server and try a ping using the exact information in the server documents. If it fails, you have a networking issue. One of the underlying causes I've seen for a problem like this is that there is no connection document (because the servers are in the same named network, but neither the IP address nor the fully-qualified host name is entered in the networks table in the server document, so Domino just asks DNS to resolve the common name 'ARRow' - but the DNS configuration on the web server does not include a default search path so the name is not resolved. But you need to check everything until you can get a 'trace' command to succeed.
The third type of problem is Access Control. This is a broad category that comes down to the fact that the identity that the code is running under either does not have access to the server ARRoW/SSS, the database sss/sssProj.nsf, the view (Lookup for Community)" or the document(s) with the key "State of Maine". There are a lot of things to check. If the code is running in a field formula, the identity is that of the user, and if the same user does not get the error through the web client then you need to look at the database properties for sss/sssProj.nsf and check the maximum web access level. If the code is running as an agent, you need to check the agent properties to determine what identity the agent is running under, and then review everything: the security settings in the server document, the database ACL, restrictions on the view, and reader names fields in the documents.
i try to open lotus notes database form my personal pc connected by SSL VPN to my company
but when i try to open a database lotus notes retrive me the following message:
This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a domino server instead of a File Server
and i can't access to database...
Someone can help me ?
Sounds like you try to open a Notes database on file system which is stored in IBM Notes Domino server's data folder or subfolder. That doesn't work. The Domino server manages those databases and don't let you open it directly. You have to access this database from Notes client opening it on Notes server with menu "File / Open / Lotus Notes Application" and selecting the Domino server.
This error message occurs also when you try to use a personal Notes data directory twice. This happens when you open Notes client from two computers and both are using same Notes data directory on a company server (usually on user's home directory). If this is the case you can copy Notes data directory to somewhere else and link data path in notes.ini to this new directory.
NRPC (the Notes proprietary protocol) uses port 1352, which may be not open in your VPN setting.
From your remote PC, try this :
telnet serveripaddress 1352
If telnet fails, see with your network admins to have port 1352 opened.
(on a side note, having the file system of a Domino server shared and remotely accessible is a terrible security practise)
I have a use case that seems pretty simple, but after Googling around I can't find a solution. I have some Word documents on an FTP server and I'd like to be able to create a link that would download them into Word and then allow the saved changes to be sent back to the FTP server.
The problem is that I can only get Word to either open the file from the FTP server as read-only and I can't save the changes back to the server automatically, or the file downloads to a temporary location which isn't automatically saved back to the server. I'm creating my link like this:
Test
Frustratingly, if I go into Word File|Open and paste the link "ftp://ftp.example.com/www/uploads/Image/test.doc" I can save back to the server. What gives? Is there a solution? From Googling around it seems that Sharepoint offers this ability, but that's not practical for us. We're using IE7 and Office 2003.
I believe Microsoft Word can read / write WebDAV - see this question:
Editable Word Document from JSP
Can you set up some kind of proxy that can connect via FTP?
Read this link http://www.webdavsystem.com/server/documentation/ms_office_read_only (is actually about webdav, but I'd guess this is the same issue for FTP), there is a section on on opening weblinked documents in non-readonly mode. Which needs some changes on the client side...
HTH

Solution for IE:
Put a file on ajaxbrowser.com (this is WebDAV Server for testing) and replace file's full path in the next code:
var openDocumentsObject = new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments");
openDocumentsObject.EditDocument('http://ajaxbrowser.com/mydoc.docx');
Another example:
<a href='http://ajaxbrowser.com/mydoc.docx' id='urltarget' target='_blank'>Edit through URI</a>
