Hi All,

Please show me the path which i can use to generate automated reports from a lotus notes database.

Obviously your searching skills aren’t very good. A search using “generating reports” in the 4/5 and 6/7 forums gives many hits, with suggested solutions using Excel and other third-party tools
Subject: script agents and Crystal Reports
Those guys forget there are noobs around sometimes, I think.
If you don’t know/want to know how to write a lotusscript agent, then you might want to purchase a copy of Crystal Reports. (Most of us experienced people shudder to even think of Crystal Reports, but if you don’t know how to do anything else, and all you want to do is report, it might be your solution.) It’s been years since I looked at it, but if I recall correctly they give you a very point-click way to set up reports.
If you’re willing, you can write a scheduled agent in your notes database to read through documents/views and create a report. You can either save the report results to a document in a notes database, write it to an email and send it, or even write it out to a text file or create an excel file. The biggest limitation will be your skills. Examples of these types of scripts are in the designer help.
