Inotes5 - forms5 access on 851 - workaround

Migrating a server to 8.5.1, the inotes5 web access does not work : the forms5 is not used. It tries the forms85 instead.

What I did to make it work :

  • put this field via script in the icon document (a kind of database properties) :

$FormsTemplateVersion = 5.0.0.0

  • put this lines in the Notes.ini :

iNotes_WA_FormsFiles=inotes/forms5.nsf

iNotes_WA_FormsVersions=5.0.0.0

And it works even if you have inotes85 mail files beside.

Ok this solution sounds strange, but it works.
