To optimise my datbase performance, I plan to have my budget numbers in separate database, say budget.nsf. thus, when I have variance analysis database, called performance.nsf, I plan for it to lookup the budget number in budget.nsf, however, I was made that it only works if I put both database in server? is this true?
After reading your first question and response, he answered you correctly. as to this question, yes notes can do a lookup from the server or local, while the db you are loading into is from the server or local.
However you did explain what you are trying to do.
