Doclink to Notes Help

I almost hate to even bring this up - but is anyone else seeing an issue with sending users doclinks to the help database?

As an admin - many years ago i used to write up big explanations to my users - then I started creating my own ‘Tips & Help’ database from a sample Notes5 Help template (i think it was in the Sandbox) then just sending users a DocLink to my ‘Tips’ or to the standard Lotus Notes Help file.

But as we tested 8.0, and now we’re upgrading users to 8.5, I found that the DocLink function is broken - it opens the correct database - but opens the first document in the database - not the one specified in the doclink.

The issue hasn’t been fixed in 8.5 FP1, either.

Am I the only one who sends Doclinks to users?

Hi,I am attempting to reproduce your scenario and need more information. Would you please provide the exact way that you opened the Notes Help, what document you were selecting, and actually how you created the link.

Thanks in advance.

Do we know when this will get some attention?

Or how can I tell my database it’s not a ‘Help’ Database - since that’s the only type database to be affected?

Congratulate me!

Another PMR closed - no plans to fix!

Quality product guys!

Doclinks still fail in 8.5.1.
