Is There a Notes.ini Parameter To Set a Specific Database To Open on Launch of Notes?

Category Software Development



A nice Notes.ini setting to keep in mind if necessary...  From the KnowledgeBase...


Is There a Notes.ini Parameter To Set a Specific Database To Open on Launch of Notes?

Document Number:  1091513

Problem

Is there a parameter in the Notes.ini that will specify a database to open when Launching Notes?


It is possible to add information to the Notes Icon shortcut information to open a specific database, but can you set a parameter in the Notes.ini to do the same?


Content

YES.  The parameter is StartupDB = , and the setting is the Replica ID of the database you wish to open up when launching Notes.  The database specified must be present on the Notes Workspace.


For example:  StartupDB = 852573B2:00627A08


Supporting Information:


Additionally under Notes 4.x the following menu is available: File, Tools, User Preferences, Startup Database (button) and selecting the database from that list will create this ini setting for you.  You will still be required to enter your password, if necessary, before the database will open.  Note that this option does not exist in the user interface of Notes R5 Client.
