Can you un-hide the design?

I’ve been given a database where the design is hidden. Is there any way to reverse this without using its template (I don’t have it)?

I thought there used to be a process where you could create a copy or a template which meant you could get hold of the design of the database/template, just not the design of the original database?

Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Can you un-hide the design?

If you search the forum (which may include searching the R4&R5 forum), you will find a way to modify a couple of bytes in the nsf file using a simple text editor, and that will unhide the design. That won’t necessarily get you very far, though – although the forms, views and Formula Language code will become available to you, the will be no LotusScript source code. Not for form, page, view or button/action events, not for agents, nada. The LS source is simply not stored in the database when the design is hidden – all that’s stored is the compiled “byte code”.
