How to access a Notes database placed on a non-domino server and accessed in web?

Hello!

I am not very well versed in programming but I do have some ample experiences in creating Lotus scripts with Notes db designing.

My question is: I have an existing Notes database that I want to transfer into a non-domino server. How will I be able to access that database in web assuming I also dont have a Notes client installed in my PC? Or, is it possible?

Thanks Evan for your response.

Let’s say I want to create my own website and I want to use Domino designer because I am more familiar with it aside from being user friendly and has lots of better capability especially Workflows.

I dont have a Domino server but I want to run my Notes db on this non-Domino server.

  • I hope you dont mind me asking but where can I get the Notes API you are talking about?

Sorry - I don;t think you can do that. Domino is the only server program that can “read” a Notes database and serve it up as a web page.

You should look into other types of web creation tools if you are not going to use Domino.

My apologies for the confusion. Yes, Graham is correct.

Unless that Web Server somehow has Notes APIs with which it can access the Notes Database, I ask why a Non-Domino Server?
