Web (anchor) link to a Notes database

Question

Hi

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?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,

try this for a local database: notes:///[drive]:/[path_to_notes_data]/[database.nsf]

This will open the database in the notes-client.

Answer 2

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
