wine users - May 2001 - How to display bookmarks on Lotus Notes 5 - Here is the solution

If you use Notes 5 with wine, you probably have the problem, that the 
bookmarks frame doesn't open when you click on Favourites or other folders 
on the left side.

Solution:

Create a Memo in Notes
Go to the Body field and select Create/Hotspot/Button
In the lower half, select Script and paste in this code

Sub Click(Source As Button)
        Dim db As New NotesDatabase("","BOOKMARK.NSF")
        Dim doc As NotesDocument
        
        Set doc = db.GetProfileDocument("settings")
        doc.ClientPageLast = 84
        doc.ClientPagePinned = 1
        doc.ClientPageWidth = 221
        
        Call doc.Save(True,True)
End Sub

Now save the memo as draft and and open it again. Press the button. Now you 
have to kill the Notes Client, do not do a File/Exit or any normal 
shutdown, otherwise these changes get overwritten again.

If you start Notes again, the bookmark frame should display. You can close 
it if you like, it will open from now on, just like in windows.

Have fun,

pete

I discovered a work around for Notes windows like the bookmark
windows. I work in managed mode, but the bookmarks and properties
windows do not get passed to the window manager (some interesting facet
of the MFCs I guess). If I suspect I should have a window up on the
screen and I can't see it, I iconize the window. When I uniconize the
window again, voila - the missing windows reappear.

Strange but true :-)

Wine 20010326 for those who are interested.
