Hi Rafa,

it would be long to explain in detail. Given the fact that the recipients of the mail are ACL members, you will have to create a LotusScript agent.

You’re too far from where you need to be for anyone here to help you, unless they are exceptionally generous with their time. Get a book about developing for Domino. IBM Redbooks Domino Designer 6 A Developer’s Handbook is a pretty good one. Or, you could hire a consultant.

I hope you don’t have every user individually assigned in the database’s ACL. If so, you SHOULD be using groups. I would hate to be the administrator and try and keep up with all the personel changes that would impact every database that has individual users assigned to it.

As for how to do what you have described, there are a ton of different ways to do this.

Assuming you are using groups, you could write a LotusScript Agent to lookup all the members in the group and then for each memeber look up their email address in their person document. If you don’t know script, you’ll need to look in Notes Help for examples.

Look for:

  • How to Access a View

  • How to Access a Document in a View

  • How to use a For All loop

Good Luck,

Wendall
