Creating a document in another database

Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find some code syntax for the following situation.

When a user selects an existing user, a document will be created in another database taking 4 values from the current form and populate them into the form in the other database. The user does not need to see this creation process.

The form in the other database only contains the four fields, and they have the same names as the current form.

Thanks for any help

You can do this using LotusScript. You would need to set the server and database where you want to create the document, and the form as well. You would also need to access the current document:

Dim Session as New NotesSession

Dim Workspace as New NotesWorkspace

Dim Db as NotesDatabase

Dim UIDoc as NotesUIDocument

Dim DocNew as NotesDocument

Dim DocCurrent as NotesDocument

Set UIDoc = Workspace.CurrentDocument

Set Db = Session.GetDatabase(“server”, “dbname.nsf”)

Set DocNew = New NotesDocument(Db)

Set DocCurrent = UIDoc.Document

DocNew.Form = “***”

DocNew.Value1 = DocCurrent.Value1

DocNew.Value2 = DocCurrent.Value2

call docNew.Save(true, false, true)

Hope this is roughly what you are looking for, I’ve written it on the fly so there are bound to be mistakes.
