Ivan,
Didn’t have time to test it but it would be great to share your findings. You can post it here or in the R8 forum too.

We are running both notes and Outlook 2003 and we don’t see the option for sorting by first name vs. last name.

The option doesn’t exist in Notes (as far as I know) but it’s possible with Outlook. That’s the problem.

If you mean Notes client (not iNotes) then of course you can easily change the template, but yes it’s a template change. You could either separate the “who” column into first/last columns, or you could make a profile document that stores the user’s pref for first or last name sorting.
But I agree that it’s a hassle to mess with the mail template for such features when you know that only a small % may actually care about the feature and now you have to support it through upgrades.

Thanks for your input but did you check the code under the “who” column ? It’s going to be a real big hassle and in many view ! May be the best would be to create another view called “outlook’s look” and sorted by last/first name.

Or think about using this template:

Other little “tips” - control-break, for the time you double click on the wrong database (or didn’t really want ot go into mail).
Setting the preference of double-right click to be the same as escape. That way you don’t have to hit the ESC key.

I am hoping to get more items regarding New Lotus User Complaints. I plan to share the entire list with the community.
Please add your thoughts.
Thanks
