We utilize Notes in Citrix xenApp. I am testing Notes 8.5.1 and so far, so good.
There is a lingering issue we have had every since version 6.
Since we are in Citrix, we utilize the users home drivers to store the data folder. Thus, the notes startup command includes =W:\notes\data\notes.ini
I have been able to tweak the registry to allow notes to open on mailto: links, but we have never been able to have notes open correctly on a hyperlink that calls a notes database, and is supposed to open in the client. All hyperlinks are structured as:
notes://servername/database.nsf
notes://servername/repID
Neither work.
If the user has Notes open before clicking on a link, it works fine. But, if notes is not open, the splash screen is displayed but nothing happens.
This issue also occurs when you make Notes your default mail program and use the docked shortcut in the start menu. Seems something to do with a specific entry point to launch notes, I just haven’t figureout which one.
mailto: links work fine
Opening a database directly by doubleclicking on it (local dbs only) notes will open fine. This only seems to be an issue with hyperlinks calls.
I have endited the shell open registry values to include the W:\notes\data\notes.ini in the path for:
HKCR\Applications\notes.exe
HKLM\Classes.nsf, .ntf, notes.exe, nlnotes.exe
So far, none of these have done the trick.
Any ideas?
Thanks
