creating a simple button

[RetrogradePAK]

we have lotus 6.5.5 and have 6 different servers. All have a particular DB called pakbb.nsf under the Apps folder. What I need is to design a button that can be sent to all our of users. Any user when he/she clickson the button will enable them to view tha pakbb.nsf database that is locally residing on their server. Is it possible?

You have 6 different servers, but where are the user's mail files stored ?

If the user's mail files are on the same server as their local pakbb db, then simply calling @Command([FileOpenDatabase];"":"Apps\pakbb.nsf") should do the trick.

I've got nothing to hide, and I'd very much like to keep that away from prying eyes.

thanks mail file reside under the mail\ folder

the button works but can it be made intelligent enough that when we send it to all of staff who have different server, the button should open the pakbb.nsf replica on their local server, is it possible to include the server name parameter so that the local server name is passed to the command?

By not specifying the server name, the code is supposed to take the local server.
Check the Designer Help on @Command([FileOpenDatabase]) and you'll see.

the command @Command([FileOpenDatabase];"":"Apps/pakbb.nsf itself does not work until I enter the server name like:
@Command([FileOpenDatabase];"PAKAMail01":"Apps/pakbb.nsf

 

[pmonett]

In that case you need to extract the current server name and feed that to the Command :

WKserver = @Subset(@DbName;1);
@Command([FileOpenDatabase];WKserver:"Apps\pakbb.nsf")
