Open Lotus Notes Database via HTML link

[joerdg]

Hello,

I am trying to open a notes database within lotus notes by clicking on a link in a html file. Basically what I have is a welcome page in lotus notes, and that welcome page is a website that sits on an apache web server (not on the domino server). I would like people to be able to click a link to a notes database on the welcom page and have that database open within Lotus notes, not IE.

Thanks.

I will answer my own question. You can put the following link a html file:

<a href="notes://yourservername/yourdb.nsf">click here</a>

This link even works when notes is closed, it will open notes, prompt you for your password, and then open the database.
