I have a form set up in a notes database and wish to export some of the fields in the form to a form in another notes database. Is this possible and how do i go about doing this ?
Subject: Exchanging fields between databases
If you are talking about the form in designer, cut and paste works, I normally use CTRL C, CTRL V to copy the field or CTRL X, CTRL V if I actually want to move the field from one form to another. As long as the new form doesn’t have a field by that name you will be okay otherwise Notes will append a _1 to the end of the field name.
Subject: Exchanging fields between databases
There several ways to transfer field data between databases using LotusScript and Java and DXL/XML code. Much information has been supplied in this and the Notes 4 and 5 forums about the subject.
If you are interested in a third-party tool that removes the requirement of rewriting code each time you want to transfer field data between databases, take a look at Jagre Transdata at http://www.jagre.net/jagre.nsf/dxsuite%2Fformtransdata?OpenForm.
Transdata enables you to point and click your way through field data transfers between databases.
