    Hi there, I very recently implemented a simple Vacation tracking db for a small office. I was wondering if any of you would like to have a look at it. I'd be more than happy to share it.



    Interface is pretty decent, with tight integration into v6.5x mail files. From your calendar, "New->Vacation Request"… Or from the db itself. The form is a copy of the appointment/meeting style.



    If you are interested, have a look here:

    • Mail integration

      By Gary Cousins 2 decades ago

      Hi Joe,



      I like your project, it looks reaaly good especially the integration with the 6.5 mail template. Bearing in mind that not everyone is running the latest version of Notes/Domino maybe we could produce a version for the R5 and R6 people, and maybe if possible one for R4.6. I would be willing to spend some time on this and share my code from my initial offering.

      A few questions

      Does the extra coding add much to the mail file size? I understood from your web site that there's a seperate leave database and the mail template links into that, is that correct?

      Is it possible for you to post the template(s)?

      • Code for mail template and where to post template?

        By Joseph Hoetzl 2 decades ago

        Hi there, yes, it is very 6.5…at any rate, the mail integration is just that code posted next to the image…



        So in the mail template, a new action is added to the action button for new, with that code. I wish there was a more granular no refresh for individual action item, but it is easy to add after a new template version install.



        I've never really distributed any of my work, but am willing to help. There are probably a few replicaID's you would have to change to get it working, and maybe a few questions (and some of my odd coding) before you have something you could play around with, but for now, on that page,

        There is a download link…or just get it here:

        Let me know if you have questions…

        • Your Code

          By Gary Cousins 2 decades ago

          Hi Joseph,



          I'm sorry for not getting back sooner but I'm involved in a big project at work. I have however looked at your database and think that it would be good to offer it to other people. A few people have asked for this type of system; one combined approver/administrator. If you want I can upload it to the Releases part of this project. Perhaps you could write a piece about using the database and I'll include that when I upload your file.
