I have a company that uses HTML signature files. They also use Citrix. For this reason, their N:\ drive is where each user’s Lotus Notes /Data folder is stored. This is also where I placed each user’s HTML Signature file.
So far so good.
But now we have a couple of power users (CEO and CFO) who have a second Lotus Notes install on their laptops. This is causing me a problem because there is no N:\ drive on the laptop, so when they begin to create a new memo, the Signature file cannot be found.
Is their any way that my users can use a signature file if they have 2 Lotus Notes workstations, each of which is on a completely different file system mapping?
Thanks.

Has any one solved this problem ?

I had a similar problem. Thought I was pretty smart by using variable paths like %DATADIR%\File location, but that didn’t work (so I guess that I’m not that smart after all :-).
What I ended up doing was creating a drive mapping on my user’s PC, making sure that the mapped drive letter and file structure used in Citrix matched.
For instance, if my signature file was located at O:\data\sigfile\file.html in Citrix, I’d create a folder at C:\IBMLotus, map "O:" to that folder, and then create the file folder path data\sigfile\file.html inside my newly mapped O:\ drive.
Now both the user’s Citrix Lotus Notes workstation and the Lotus Notes workstation on their PC or laptop look to the same file path and location for the Signature File.
So far so good, but I’d love to hear some other suggestions.
