Check if user exists

Hi. I have a question about something simple (I think). Is there an easy way to check if a user already exists in Lotus Directory via Lotus Script? I found a function for Formula Language (@NameLookup) which gives me informations about the user but no corrospending part for Lotus Script.Or shall I do lookups on NAB user views?

Subject: Ok got it

I used NotesDirectory and NotesDirectoryNavigator.

Dim mydir As NotesDirectory

Dim mynav As NotesDirectoryNavigator

…

Set mynav = mydir.LookupNames("$Users","CN=" + Firstname + " " + Surname  + "/" + MyDN,"LastName", False)

If mynav.FindFirstName() > 0 Then

	Print "User exists"

	Exit Sub

End If

So I only do a lookup and count the results. Voila.

Best regards
