As I already got several requests now I think I need to document it here:

Users in Germany do see wrong calendar weeks in Notes 8.5.1 this year. To correct this you need to change a setting in your Notes client.  Go to

“File -> Preferences ->Calendar and To Do -> Regional Settings -> Week Numbers”

and change the setting to “Always use ISO-Standard” instead of “Use my operating system regional setting”.

Afterwards the week numbers will be correctly displayed according to the German standard.

    Also, you can configure this centrally using a desktop settings document and add footerweekno=2 to the client notes.ini’s.

  2. Hello Hans, thanks for this update!
