R5 calendar view displays duplicates in 6.5 client

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We have a calendar view from an R5 app that displays duplicate entries for some documents (not all), but only when viewed in the 6.5 client.

For example, an event entry that should show on two days, Mon & Tues 11/10 & 11/11, shows up in the calendar on Mon. & Tues and then shows a duplicate entry on Tues & Wed.

In design and when switching to an outline style there is only one document. The start date and end date fields look ok, but I am still checking.

The view appears fine for the R5 clients.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Did anyone every come up with a solution to this problem? I am experiencing the exact same problem. The calendar view work fine in R5, but shows duplicates under R6.5.1 If I change the format of the view to standard outline, it no longer displays the duplicates. It appears that this might be an “undocumented feature”

Thanks,

JR

We have the same problem! We’ve tried everything, can’t even find a work around. Any one else have any luck?

Alas I have found one possible cause and solution. The “show multiple values as separate entries” property on view columns. In my particular case the first three of four columns had this property turned on. The first column with the StartDateTime, a second column with a formula that computed an integer or defaulted to zero, and a @texttotime formula used when duration was not “all day”. By turning off this property on the integer column the calendar worked for r5 and r6 users.

There must be some difference between the calendar formats between 5 and 6 besides the appearance.

Got the same problem. Have not found any tech solution yet.

I found why this was happening (for me). In some of my views the ‘time’ period was crossing into the next day. In one view I had the time column set to 1440 (number of seconds in one day). Setting this down to 1 (in this case) made everything display correctly.

…now why did I set it to 1440 in the first place?

Well, if you’re like me, I didn’t keep track of a duration in my form. The old standard was that the first column required a date and time and the second column required a duration. The duration was supposed to be set for a day (i.e. 1440 minutes). Something in 6.5 must have changed. I too set mine to 1 minute and the calendar seems to be functioning as desired. New and improved, ha!
