It may be worthwhile to verify that your Notes servers do correctly
handle daylight savings time (DST). An additional parameter must be
added to each server's NOTES.INI file to specify DST start and end dates
in the country where the server is located. See the setting of the
environment variable DSTLaw below. The syntax is somewhat similar to the
TCP/IP TZ variable.
In countries that observe DST, Notes clients must be set to observe DST.
An additional parameter must be added to each user's NOTES.INI file to
specify DST start and end dates in the user's country. See the setting
of the environment variable DSTLaw below. The syntax is somewhat similar
to the TCP/IP TZ variable.
The following script opens the names file NAMES.NSF, looks for the
locations documents in the database, and changes the flag controlling
whether or not DST should be observed. The script could be placed in a
button hotspot in a note and sent by the Notes administrator to all
users...

Dim session As New notessession
Call session.SetEnvironmentVar( "DSTLaw", "3 -1 1 10 -1 1",1)
Dim namevar As String
namevar = session.getenvironmentstring("NAMES",1)
If namevar = "" Then
namevar = "names.nsf"
End If
Dim db As New notesdatabase ("",namevar)
If db.isopen Then
Dim view As NotesView
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set view = db.GetView("Locations")
Set doc = view.GetFirstDocument
While Not(doc Is Nothing)
doc.DST = "1"
Call doc.Save( True, True )
Set doc = view.GetNextDocument(doc)

Messagebox "All your Notes Locations have been set to Observe
Daylight Saving",,"Daylight Savings Time"
Else
Messagebox "You do not have a Private Address Book named " +
namevar,,"Daylight Savings Time"
End If
End Sub
