R5 and R6 mixed environment problems

HI all,

I am having a problem and I could really use some help. My IT department has 6 programmers - only 2 do Lotus development. So to test the R6 environment the non developers were upgraded to R6. My coworker and I are at 5 because the whole company is.

The IT department has a time database where we key our hours per project. Here’s what I’m seeing happen ( we are trying to get me a test pc with R6 but right now I have no R6 designer):

  1. I have a view that categorizes by project number. If a project was being worked on before they were upgraded, and they key time since being upgraded - they will not categorize together. The time accumulated for all the R5 records and the time accumulates for all the R6 time but they will not group together. Can someone explain that to me. The database resides on an R6 server but has not been altered since the upgrade so there isn’t any logic used that is limited to R6. ** It still works fine for those who didn’t upgrade.

  2. I cannot call an agent that I used before the upgrade. I get “Document has not yet been saved”. If I change the code ( posted below) to update a text field it’s fine. If I change it to update with a hardcoded date I don’t get the error but the field doesn’t update either. I checked and all the @commands still exist and they are still coded the same way. ( Again R5 still works)

tmp := @Adjust(TimeDate; 0; 0; 6 - @Weekday(TimeDate); 0; 0; 0);

@SetField(“TimeWeekEnd”;tmp);SELECT @All

I can see where my problems are but without getting to play with R6 I’m not quite sure what specific questions to ask. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank You !!

Your problem #2 is related to the @setField. In notes R6, you no longer need to define a field before using it with @setField. Read the help about @setField in R6 or do a search in this forum.

Thank you for your response. I changed the agent to run as shown below. I still receive the error.

SELECT @All;

FIELD TimeWeekEnd := @Adjust(TimeDate; 0; 0; 6 - @Weekday(TimeDate); 0; 0; 0);
