Analyze similar column formulas and then group them together (i.e. shared column)
8) Is it available in R6 or only if R7 is installed ??

The Shared Columns in R7 are in fact regular views with only 1 column (the shared column itself) and with a special $Flags value ("^").
And in R7, when you edit a Shared Column, it will automaticaly refresh the views using this Shared Column, because all the info regarding the Shared Column MUST be in the target views, so these views can use this information and build their indexes.
This means that any shared column created in R7 will appear in R4 or R5 as a regular view (with a "nice" selection formula equal to SELECT @All !).
It seems that they "prepared" the field with the R6, since some releases of R6 are intelligent enough to know that a Shared Column is not a View (I know that 6.5.4 filters it, but I didn't check in the first releases of R6, though).
In conclusion, all this means:
viewEZ will work in all version of Notes, even in R4 (!).
With viewEZ, you will be able to create shared columns, use them, etc., with any the Notes release you are using.
Even more: the only way to edit a Shared Column prior to R7 (and thus update the target views) will be through viewEZ...
And you do not need to have R7 installed to use shared columns with viewEZ.
