My understanding is that custom fields do not contain null values in the true sense of the word. To add a custom field, you must first create a field definition, then add a field object to the appropriate object in the message store using the definition (i.e. address book entry, calendar entry etc). When you add the field to the object, you must provide a value for the field at the same time. In order to ‘remove’ the value you need to either provide a value to represent a null (i.e. with string custom fields you need to set the value to a space character in order to ‘clear’ its value). For example, you could set the date field to date representing a null value as far as your application is concerned (such as 1/1/1899). Howver, this could be an issue if you display the value somewhere in the GroupWise client. Your other option would be to remove the field object from the message that contained it. Of course, you would have to modify your applet to take this into account when trying to read the value of the custom date field.

In terms of auto-excepting appointments, could you post an example of what you have tried so far.

Thank you for your question. What is ‘normal’ in terms of access speed is difficult to say, given so many factors may affect address book access. The fundamental difference between the System and Personal address books is that the System book is a shared resource by default, whereas personal books are not. This difference can affect the responsivness of programmatic access to address books (and any shared resource). Factors include your network topography, GroupWise system design, load and infrastructure.

Depending on your specific needs, you might be able to create a personal address book based on the system address book for some purposes. This is obviously not ideal, but it is an alternative in some situations.

What sort of difference are you experiencing accessing shared v. personal address books? What is the performance like if you create a personal book containing the same number of contacts as your shared book?

I hope this information is of some assistance.

You’ll find this information in the ‘Programmers Guide’ under the ‘Applet Structure’ topic.

This object is actually the same as the GroupWise C3PO clientstate object, documented on the Novell Developer web site:

Given the significant new features added since version 1.0, Formativ 1.5 is considered an upgrade. Version 1.0 keys will not work with version 1.5. More information is available on the web site, or by contacting sales@advansyscorp.com.

Unfortunately GroupWise does not expose an on close event. Novell have again been made aware of this, but we are currently unable to state when they might add this feature. Please watch the web site for more information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your question. We have not received any reports of issues with this applet, and suspect that something environmental may be the cause.

Does this problem only happen on one machine, a few or all?

Could you please perform the following steps to assist us in troubleshooting the problem:

1. Start GroupWise, then from the main GroupWise menu select Help|About Formativ. On the dialog that appears, select the configuration tab. Press the copy to clipboard button. Close the dialog, then compose a new GroupWise email message addressed to support@advansyscorp.com. Paste the contents of the clipboard into the body of the new message.

2. ZIP the contents of the directory you have your signature files stored in, then attach the zip file to the GroupWise message.

3. Send us the message so we can review your configuration information and signature files.

Thank you,

Thanks for the update and compliments. Please let us know if you encounter any problems with the Field test files.

We have made available Field Test Files for Formativ Admin and Developer version 1.5.4.0. These versions allow you to edit source code that may include extended characters. We have tested these files with the characters you quoted earlier in this thread.

The files are available from the following links:

Formativ Developer 1.5.4.0 Field Test File

Formativ Admin 1.5.4.0 Field Test File

Exit GroupWise, then download the appropriate file. Manually copy the downloaded file over the top of the existing version of the same name, which will be found in the c:program filesadvansysformativ directory.

We look forward to hearing the results of your testing.

Yes, you can replace the dialog graphics if you have the applet source code. Check the WizardImage() property of the control dialog object. This property lets you provide your own bitmap image for use in the dialogs.

Can you work around this issue by using the Chr() function? For example:

MsgBox "This is an extended character: " & Chr(224)
