All of the calculation will simply not complete and no error is generated in the log. This tip gives you simple code to avoid this problem. ADVICE:  Ask Michael Lazar: Migrating the server but not the client Dear Mike: I am migrating a client who runs 4.5 clients on 5.x server. They want to only migrate the server to 6.5 and keep the client at 4.5, because they are moving off Notes in one year. I think it's also because if they go beyond one year, they want continued support from Lotus. Are their any published migration notes/white papers on moving servers to 6.5 with the client in the older release? Click here to read Mike's expert response.

Camera phone gadget undresses with its eye [CNET News.com] Remember the ads for X-Ray Specs in the back of comic books (right next to the sea monkeys and above Grit magazine)? Those specs always seemed suspect -- both scientifically and legally. Well, now it looks like the genuine article has finally hit the market, albeit by accident. When a developer in Japan created an add-on to allow cell phones to take pictures in the dark, little did he know his gadget was so Superman-good, it could see right through people's clothes! And of all the garments, dark bikinis seem to offer the best view. You can't get the peeping gizmo outside of Japan, and you've got to think the government won't turn a blind eye to the camera with the "overexposure" problem.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
