Changing column titles via Lotus Script

dear all,

I’m searching for a possibility to change column titles via lotus script NOT USING notesViewColumn.Title property.

I have to change the title depending on each user connecting to the db.

the value to be shown will be saved in another db (kind of a language file).

so i need something like ‘computed text’ for the column titles.

is there any way?

→ ONLY for notes client.

I will even use some API stuff or html or java script workarounds for the notes client.

thanks in advance

alex

Hi…

The column title can be a string which has to be predecided.

Using NotesViewColumn.Title will be a bad idea as it will actually change the title in the Backend view.And there will be conflicts with the title changing for a lots of users simultaneously…

However you can try this workaround,

Design columns with all possible column titles.In the column hide formulas use the formula to hide columns with certain titles for certain users.

This would take up a lot of space. But this seems to be the best workaround to your problem

hi, thanks for the suggestions BUTi have 4 countrys with at least 2 user levels and each of this levels will have up to 15 columns - 120 columns right?. we also talk about up to 20000 documents for those users…imaging the computation when opening the view…

so - nice idea but i can’t use it :-(((

thanks
