Upgrading local Lotus Notes templates

No tips yesterday, busy day and I'm guessing the whole election thing was crowding out the news/blogs anyway.

Anyway, I was in a meeting yesterday where a couple of customers mentioned (running Notes 8.5) that their bookmark templates had not updated. They resolved this by using Replace Design and restarting.

What you can also do is reset an "ini" setting in "notes.ini" -  "TemplateSetup".

For example, mine currently is set to "TemplateSetup=850004". If I changed that to a number less than 850000, then when I start the Notes Client it will do a template update of the local address book (contacts), bookmarks and for 8.5 Notebook. I'm guessing just setting to zero will work for everyone no matter what version you are using.
