I am trying to build a DAV which is pointing to old data orginal developed in the Lotus Notes Cleint, unfortunatly the developer named a field “user” which is now causing me problems in the DAV, the DAV is outputting the logged in DB2 user name and not the data stored in the lotus notes.
Does anybody know of a workaround other than creating a new field and updating all of the documents across the application where user is specified, this amounts to a large number, over 400,000 documents
Many thanks for any assistance

Sorry, misread the original post. Your issue is the Domino side has the field named user, not the other way around.
You could add a computed field (named something other than user) that is based on the value of the existing user field on the form, and then include that new field in the DAV instead.
Subject: Is there a way around when creating the dav to use an alias for a field name?
I was trying to get away around this as I have over 400,000 documents to update in 10 different database which are being replicated to local clients so will be a large impact on my users

Unless designer lets you change the names as/after you pick them…I don’t believe there is another way.
