Hi all,
Any suggestions on whether it is advisable to develop a Notes database using Notes 8 Designer, when the user base could be a mix of Notes 7 and Notes 8 clients?
In the past, when we moved to version 7 and the user base was a mix of 6 and 7 clients, I kept the design template as an nt6 extension, and was careful not to use any new @Functions etc. Do you think I can do something similar if I move to Notes 8 (i.e. have an nt7 template extension)?
Thanks,

Just be sure not to use any features that are Notes 8 only. I don’t think you need to worry about the file extension. That controls the ODS. If you create your databases locally and then replicate/copy them to the server with Notes than it will adjust the ODS as needed. The only time you would have an issue is if you had a Notes database with the Notes 8 ODS and then copied the databases using the operating system.

That is what I am doing and have done in the past, alternatively u can check the client version and if 8 run v8 code else run non v8 code.
