I have noticed the strangest thing with @UserName in ND6.5.
My mission is to create a single categorized view, based on username. As I got into a lot of problems with what I thought was caching, I have tried to eliminate problems, and simplified the form.
I now have a plain db, which requires login. I have two different users, and a form with only one computed text field on it. The formula in the field is @UserName.
Now, when I log in by browser with the first user (User A), and open the form, it shows my username (User A). So, I close all browser windows, and open the form again logged in as User B. My computed field still shows User A, when it in fact should show me User B.
Also, there is a problem when using the same field surrounded with some Pass Through HTML, it does not show anything in the Notes Client. I have tested with Notes client 6.03 and 6.5. None of them shows me my UserName. With 5.11, everything works fine.
When I put the field on a separate line and deselect the Passthrough HTML, it shows ok.
Any ideas of why this is happening? How can I force the computed field to recalculate everytime a form is opened? I thought this was done everytime by default.

I also had troubles with the Pass Through HTML.
Sometimes my buttons did not show up in browsers when I had Pass Through HTML text before the button. The button was just coming after the Pass Through HTML. So no other characters where there. To solve this I put the cursor just in front of the button and checked if the Pass Through HTML is activated. If so, the button will not show up in a browser.
So make sure that when the cursor is just in front of your field that the Pass Through HTML is not activate.
The annoying thing is that when ever you edit the form and place the cursor in the Pass Through HTML text before the field it will activate the Pass Through HTML again, thus, each time you edit the form check all fields which have Pass Through in front.
To avoid this put just a space (Not in Pass Throough HTML) between the Pass Through HTML and the field.

Is the field Computed, Cumputed when composed or computed for display?What kind of login do you have? (Single authentication, session authentication, SSO?).
