It's evident why people still use Lotus notes in this age of Microsoft
Dominated Outlook and Exchange. It's the programmable databases that
serve as dynamic knowledge dumps for huge groups.
Too bad notes was designed by people who have no regard for the WINDOWS
(or even the MAC) Rules of programming. Right clicks sometimes will give
you missing Methods (copy, cut, paste, but hey, no delete??). You'll
have to access these functions in another menu called "ACTIONS".
1. I discovered this when I was trying to delete a folder in NOTES.
Good Luck. It's completely counter intuitive. (Delete it using, Action,
Folder Options (bypassing the Folder menu option), Delete.
2. How about trying to resize tables in Notes?
If you're an office user you'd probably look for the properties tab or
do a right click or position the cursor along the lines of the table.
NONE of these work.
Up to now--I still don't know.
3. How about doing a standard search for emails sent by A to B?
You first click MORE, then Index your inbox.
Wait wait wait for the index to finish.
Then click around 3 dialog boxes (you search the address book) to fill
up a form that says
Author contains XXXX.
Then you press search.
Even after doing that --- NOTHING appears when I know that the person
XXXX is in the inbox as an author.
All I can say is.
Primitive Love.
4. I suppose people who can make NOTES fly can be called Experts in the
true sense of the word. You really have to be an expert because, I'm
sorry HACKS, ya can't hack this one!

5. Lets wait for it to die and be replaced by a better CMS/Knowledge
Management system. Come to think of it even CMSs like Mambo and Joomla
are unfriendly.
