Title of the Formula:Unhiding a hidden design manually
Here is the way that you crack the Notes hidden design. You will need a hex
editor for starters. Open notes and remove the DB icon from the workspace.
You then open the .nsf file in the hex editor and go to byte 188. Change
the byte from 20 to 00. (Needless to say, take a backup before doing this).
Save the file, open notes and add the Db icon to the workspace. You should
now be able to see the design. Another interesting thing is that the DB
replica ID is stored backwards in Bytes 180 - 187. Rather interesting,
what!!

This is useful when the design of a database has been hidden, and can't be unhiden by conventional methods.
