Unhiding the
design of a database
If you have a database a hidden design and you just want to take a look inside this is the solution.
Hidden / not hidden design attribute is a database property.
First, you need to rename the target database to xxx.NTF and move to the root of the Notes Data directory. This will allow you to see this as a Notes Template.
Second, make a new blank database. The design for this one will not be hidden.
Third, from menu do a File\Database\Replace Design and choose the xxx.NTF to inherit the design from.
All the design will go the the new one. As a plus, you can use the "Document Properties" box to look at fields.
Not all the design will be available. More exactly, all the design available in the target database will be available.
If the "Hide Design" was used correctly with the "Hide formulas and LotusScript" option, the script code and formulas are physically cutted from the design elements and only the compiled script will be kept.
But at least you will be able to make a view or an agent...
