How to categorize a contact with lotusscript?

Hello,

I am adding an agent to the names.nsf database, to download and create contacts from a card scanning app our employees are using. It’s working fine, I can create the contacts, but I want to throw them into a new category every time the run the agent so they can find the new contacts. Is there an easy way to categorize them in lotusscript?

I am creating the contact like this:

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
Doc.Form = “Contact”

Then I set field values with a doc.FIELDNAME = “XXXXX” and it works fine, but when I try a doc.Category = “XXX” It does not set a category. The category I am trying to set it to does not exist yet either.

Thanks in advance

Justin

Subject: Category won’t work as the field is “Categories”

so doc.Categories = “XXX”
