Proverbs 28:1-2
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
2-Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.
HotKeys by qliner
Kevin wrote about his Favorite Windows Shortcut Keys my favorite is the Win-L. I have added a few more using hotkeys by qliner . One of the really nice features is you can see the keyboard and the icon associated with it, you might get sick of holding down the Windows key though!

The other very nice feature is the run as, it is a little different than Windows Run As because it as a default user. The other benefit is easy of running explorer.exe using the Run As, which is not possible with Windows.
The volume control is kind of nice also.

Session.DocumentContext something isn't right
If you ran the following code in the Web Query Save agent that was assigned to a form with a subject field. The original value of subject was "Truck" and the new value entered on the web was "Car". The Web Query Save agent code was:
Dim docBefore As NotesDocument
Dim documentContext As NotesDocument
Dim docAfter As NotesDocument
Set docBefore = Session.CurrentDatabase.getDocumentByUNID( "f02506889e2d5cfc8625712f001b02f9" )
Msgbox "Before: " +
docBefore.subject(0) Set documentContext = Session.DocumentContext
Msgbox "Context: " + documentContext.subject(0)
Set docAfter = Session.CurrentDatabase.getDocumentByUNID( "f02506889e2d5cfc8625712f001b02f9" )
Msgbox "After:" +
docAfter.subject(0)
I was expecting to see:
Before: Truck
Context: Car
After: Truck
What I saw was:
Before: Truck
Context: Car
After: Truck
Domino seems to read the document from the database until the DocumentContext is used at which the document is read from memory where the changes are allready made. This will make my job capturing what has change for Open Audit a litte hard, thus take a little more time.
Proverbs 13:2-3
But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.

But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
Template Build Class 1.1.0
Updated the Template Build Class to include a build number that will be different the build version. The build version is text which could have 1.1.0, 1.0.0 beta 1, etc. The build number is an actual number and would be 40, 100, etc.
Here are the methods available:
Public Sub new( )<br> Public Function GetVersionField() As NotesDocument<br> Public Function getTemplateBuildName( ) As String<br> Public Function setTemplateBuildName( BuildName As String )<br> Public Function getTemplateBuild( ) As String<br> Public Function setTemplateBuild( Build As String )<br> Public Function getTemplateBuildNumber( ) As Double<br> Public Function setTemplateBuildNumber( BuildNumber As Double )<br> Public Function getTemplateBuildDate( ) As NotesDateTime<br> Public Function setTemplateBuildDate( BuildDate As NotesDateTime )<br> Public Function hasTemplateBuild( ) As Boolean<br> Public Sub Save( )<br> Public Sub delete( )<br>

Template Build discussion
Currently Set Template Version uses three pieces of information TemplateBuildName, TemplateBuild, and TemplateBuildDate. Each of these is a string which is not a problem, but Vince created a web service for checking for updates that uses Project, BuildNumber, and BuildName as strings but BuildNumber is a double. The double is needed to see if there is a new version available, and a string can not be used because 1.1.1 is different than 1.01.01 or 1.1.10. Thus the discussion!
I would like to see some consistency between these so the Build Template class can work. The two are very close TemplateBuildName = Project and TemplateBuild = BuildName. The only difference is the BuildNumber with no corresponding field on the $TemplateBuild shared field. What I am proposing is enhancing Set Template Version to include on more additional field called Template Build which would be a number allowing a decimal. Leaving Template Version (TemplateBuild) as a string will allow for 1.0.0 beta 1 and multiple decimals.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Rich Text to MIME
In November I was working on rendering Rich Text as MIME for Blogsphere which been doing well, based on no new is good news. There is a new technote that explains how to get around the images disappearing if the document is refreshed more than once. Which Blogsphere handles because it uses a second rich text field so it never converted to MIME twice. The technote uses 'ConvertedMime' with a value of 1 so it is not converted to a MIME database twice. Does anyone else know if there are any other fields related to Rich Text to MIME conversion?
