OK. . I set the programmatic name of a column on my view to “YearColumn”. Is there a way to now retrieve values from that (calculated via formula) column? Is this some sort of array or…?

Retrieve it from where and how? In a formula in a field on a form? Using LotusScript? In another column in the same view?

A little more information about where you want to retrieve them from, and in what language, would be helpful.
From another view column in the same view, you can just use the column name in your formula.
@DbLookup or @DbColumn will work with the column number. I don’t know whether @DbLookup will work with the name, but it’s worth trying.
NotesViewEntry.Columnvalues or NotesDocument.Columnvalues will get you the value, but only by column number. If you want to not depend on knowing the column position, you’ll have to write code to analyze the view design and search for your named column.
