I have a starnge URL in the address line from a web enabled notes system ie
I don’t understand what the string of zeroes refer to . Can anyone help please
Subject: Strange URl
The string of zeros is the view ID which, if it is zero means that no view is specified.

Or more precisely: No specific view is referenced.
Domino URIs that link to documents must contain a view portion, but a view of that name (or UniqueID) doesn’t have to exist. Also, there’s no need for a default view in your application for this syntax to work. As long as you provide a valid DocumentUniqueID, you can pass as a view name whatever you want.
Give it a try:
http://appns01/CMS/Averyweb.nsf/wurzelsepp/ff2a872c6228f00b8025741e00481ea4?OpenDocument
will smoothly open the same document (although I’m pretty confident, that your application does not contain a view named wurzelsepp). So, contrary to what is often heard, a view name of “0” does not specify any magically linked in view. In the end it’s just a placeholder for a URL segment that’s mandatory in Domino URLs.
This still leaves the interesting question of what created this URL in the first place …

as has been already stated theAveryweb.nsf/00000000 specifies the default view. Typically it is inserted as a single “0” but as long as it resolves to a Zero the result is the default view. Of interest is that when you have the Document ID as you have in this URL the document does not need to be in the view specified.
