In order to make List Fields, it must be registered as a Notes Menu Addin tool. This is primarily done with the AddInMenus keyword in the configuration file NOTES.INI.
Note: Different versions of Lotus Notes have over the time placed NOTES.INI in several directories. The best tip is to use the Windows Search for files tool and locate your NOTES.INI. This will at the same time reveal if you have multiple NOTES.INIs on your machine.If so, it's very important to modify the correct one. If you for example have Notes R5 and Notes 6 installed simultaneously, you must know which version you installed latest, since all Registry modifications done by the Notes installer always point to the latest installation.
If you want to use an earlier Notes version, you must also ensure that the PATH environment variable also point to the old installation, and not the current installation.
The trick is to get List Fields to use the Notes DLL files of the version you plan to use List Fields in. List Fields can't operate in two different Notes versions simultaneously, .
Below you see a snippet from a NOTES.INI file with only List Fields's Addin menu DLL, and no other previous Notes Menu Addin tools registered:
[Notes]
...
AddinMenus=VCLFM100.DLL
...
This could also have been specified like this:
[Notes]
...
AddinMenus=C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\VCLFM100.DLL
...
And finally you see how the AddInMenus look like when it has more than one Addin Menu. The comma is used as separator between the DLL's
[Notes]
...
AddinMenus=VCLFM100.DLL,TANSA2.DLL,NSFINFO.DLL
...
The sequence of the DLLs determine the order of the menu items in the Actions menu.
