ConfigFile Notes.ini Variable

Ok, I’ve had the configfile variable work such as:

ConfigFile=c:\NotesConfig.txt

with NotesConfig.txt containing:

IM.Server=Servername

etc etc

This works only when Notes has a new notes.ini file that it’s reading from. If I update my client from 6.5 to 6.51, but before doing it I add ConfigFile to the notes.ini, it ignores it.

What am I doing wrong?

The ConfigFile parameter only works when the client setup program runs. When you upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.1, the client setup doesn’t run (unless you empty out your Notes.ini again, or increment the Setup value).

Youre settings from the ConfigFile parameter should already be set from the first time you ran setup.

Thank you. That’s what I was wondering. All the information I could find doesn’t actually specify that information.

Is that “Setup=” line the only INI variable that needs to be changed? Right now (I’m at 6.51) these setting are as follows:

Setup=650003,

then these:

MailSetup=650003

MailUpgradeFolder=650003

Ok got it.

Setup=53 with R4.6x

Before upgrading, setting up the “ConfigFile=” in the notes.ini worked. After launching 6.51, the IM info was inserted and no user prompt to set it up.

Then for the heck of it, I changed “Setup=” back to 53 and launched 6.51 again. Again, it pulls in the ConfigFile info since it thinks it’s at a previous version.

Very cool. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
