How to update your Contacts database and ensure it’s features are current

Mat Newman  August 22 2012 15:17:39
A question from twitter.  The user in question had updated their Lotus Notes client to a current release, but didn't have all of the newer features available to them in their Personal Address Book (Contacts) database.

To ensure your Contacts database is up to date, which means it has the latest features and options, as well as providing your Lotus Notes client with the most up to date preferences and settings, follow these steps:
1.        Within your Lotus Notes client, access the Workspace
Figure 1: Accessing the Workspace

Access the Lotus Notes Workspace

2.        Locate your own Contacts database (in My Case:  "Newman's Contacts")

3.        Right-Click the database, Choose Application -> Replace Design
Figure 2: Replace Design option

Replace the Database design

4.        Choose the "Personal Address Book" template from the list, and choose "Replace"
Figure 3: Use the correct template

Choose the right template

5.        Your Contacts will now be updated to include the latest features and options
Figure 4: New features and Options available

Lotus Notes Contacts, new features available


Note: this process is normally done automatically by your Lotus Notes client during an upgrade, but I have heard of a couple of instances where this hasn't happened.  If you're missing a feature, you might want to try these steps.

How to update your Contacts database and ensure it’s features are current

Another thing that I have done on some end user machines is to close Lotus Notes then change the notes.ini value for TemplateSetup=xx to TemplateSetup=0 then start notes again, this forces an update of all local databases such as bookmarks, contacts to the latest installed version (as long as the templates are accessible!)

Not sure if it is the right way but it has worked for me!

Recovery of Any Stolen BTC&USDT By Bliss Paradox Recovery Company

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY RECOVER ANY MISSING CRYPTO ASSET BY BLISS PARADOX RECOVERY COMPANY

Hi, I'm Chalser and I became one of the testifiers of BLISS PARADOX RECOVERY COMPANY ever since they saved me from losing my crypto investment of almost $100,000 worth of bitcoin.

Some fake investment brokers convinced me to invest into their platform so I can get much profits, I fell for it, which eventually got my whole bitcoin frozen and varnished before my eyes. I was so worried, so I began my research about some recovery experts I can hire to help me with the recovery job. It wasn't easy at all because in that process, I was duped twice, but still I never gave up on my stolen bitcoin. It is real that anything you seek with one heart will surely come to you, and that was what happened in my case here. I kept searching for more recovery experts until I came across BLISS PARADOX RECOVERY. They made everything possible to get the recovery done within some few hours of job. Took their time to listen to my story, and then gave me assurance that they will do everything in their power to get my crypto assets recovered. I gave them the necessary information needed. I'm happy to tell you that they did recovered most part of what was stolen within some hours.

This company - BLISS PARADOX RECOVERY is licensed covered. Moreover, their services were invaluable, because, they kept me updated on every new development on the way, making sure I feel safe and secure.

I can't say much good things they did to me here, but then, are you having any crypto related issues? I have attached the contact details of the company so you can reach out to them directly.

SPEAK TO A CERTIFIED CRYPTO RECOVERY HACKER, ALPHA KEY LICENSED

Today marks six months since I lost everything I had saved, and an online broker forced me to invest on Binance in the hopes of receiving a 25% cash-back reward on my cryptocurrency investments without telling me.Before I came across articles and evaluations of a crypto recovery specialist named Alpha Key Recovery, I suspected that this online broker was a scammer and that I had lost everything by investing over $75,000 in USDT cryptocurrency. My biggest error might have been contacting the company with less confidence. can't express how much gratitude they deserve now that Alpha key recovery is a legitimate and a licensed hacker expert reach out to them now info below

How I Recovered My Bitcoin After a Phishing Scam

I lost over $81,000 worth of Bitcoin to a phishing scam. It started with an email that looked like it came from my wallet provider, warning me about suspicious activity. I clicked the link, logged in, and thought I had secured my wallet. Minutes later, I checked my actual wallet and saw all my Bitcoin had been transferred to a wallet I didn’t recognize. I panicked. My wallet provider said nothing could be done crypto transactions are irreversible.

I felt helpless until I found Astraweb. After reading about their recovery success stories, I reached out to them. Their response was fast, professional, and reassuring. They took on my case and began tracing the stolen Bitcoin using advanced blockchain forensic tools. Within a few days, they discovered the funds had moved through several wallets and were about to be converted on a crypto exchange. Astraweb prepared a detailed report and contacted the exchange’s compliance team. Thanks to their quick action, the exchange froze the wallet. After verifying my identity, the stolen Bitcoin was returned to a new, secure wallet Astraweb helped me set up. I couldn’t believe it my crypto was recovered. Astraweb didn’t just get my funds back they also showed me how to protect myself from future scams with better wallet security.

If you’ve lost crypto to phishing, scams, or hacks, don’t give up hope. Astraweb may be the key to getting it back.
