CSEVENTNOTES Error when creating Lotus Notes Activity

I kept getting this error after upgrading my Lotus Notes to 8.5. Here's how I resolved it - thanks to a search on Google.

There are two options for resolving this issue.

Option A: 1. Open the mail file in Lotus® Domino® Designer. 2. Select Shared Code. 3. Select Script Libraries. 4. Select CSEventNotes and delete it. 5. Replace the design on the mail file.

Option B: 1. Open the user's mail file in Domino Designer. 2. Select Tools. 3. Select Recompile All LotusScript.

Time to ACT!

Several years ago I wrote this blog article and after working with a client recently I figured it was time to post it again.  We went over exactly what was in the post and I thought that would be great to blog about. And I went, duh, I already did. Here it is. Time to ACT. What does that say to you? Time to do what you need to do? Now’s the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country? You get the idea. It means time to do what needs to be done. Ok, Let’s take it to

Mining Sage ACT eMarketing Data

I love Sage ACT's eMarketing feature.  It is a plugin that allows me to use the Swiftpage email blast and survey service. I can send out mass emails and ensure that none get delivered to people who have opted out of my emails AND (this is the good part) know that they have indeed received, opened, and clicked on links in my emails. The best part is the data gets written back to my ACT database and I now have information that I can search and act upon. In a previous life I used Constant

Output SQL to CSV

A while ago, I posted a blog article about building CSV's from SQL tables.  It was a very popular post, so I'm submitting it again.  I decided to go research if there were any things to do differently with the new SQL Server 2008. Turns out what I wrote before still applies. What drove me to write the original post was an email from another consultant who wanted to know a way to export SQL queries to CSV files. After I formulated my response to him, I decided it would make a good and

Ask the 5 W's when deciding on a CRM

When thinking about the right CRM ask the 5 "w's" questions: Where are you going to use it, Why are you using it, When will you use it, What will you write about and Who is your audience. 1. Where - if you are selling GPS equipment to combine owners and you are outstanding in their field (and I don't mean good at what you do, I mean standing in the middle of a corn field), internet connections are probably not available and small devices not an option.   unless.... 2. When - if you

Clearing and resetting the ACT and Google Contact integration

Over the past year or two I have had a love/hate relationship with my Motorola Android phone.  It has a memory leak and without rooting the phone I can't clean out that bad file.  So, I keep resetting it to factory mode and reloading my contacts. Recently I started using the ACT and Google integration which works really well.  However, there is a rather obscure method to resetting the contacts.  Since my phone is so grumpy about memory, I decided to scale back the number of

Not seeing the forest for the trees

Everyone we talk to recently is still lamenting about how bad the economy is and how hard they are struggling to get in new business.  We are in the same boat.  So, it is important to us to do everything we can to get in new leads and quickly react to them.  In addition, we and our clients are looking for ways to drive more people to our website.  It would be great to have a way to leverage both needs. Recently I attended a conference listening to awesome people with amazing
