This’ll work in an agent:
Dim s as Notessession
Dim db as Notesdatabase
Dim doc as Notesdocument
Set s = New Notessession
Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
Set doc = db.CreateDocument
doc.SomeField = “Hello, world!”
call doc.save(true, true)
What the script does is to get a handle on the current database, create a document, set the value of a field named SomeField, and save it.

I’d recommend using
doc.Form = “Some form name”
before saving though, so you can select it in a view.

You can select a document for a view whether or not it has a form name attached to it; selection by form is a common means of building selection formulae, but certainly not the only one. Of course, it’s a good idea to indicate a form, if only so that it doesn’t get pulled up in a possibly inappropriate default form.

The Form item is also map-optimised in the saved document even without using the optimization settings, so selections based on Form are slighly quicker than selections based on “ordinary” items. Or so the Lotus documentation tells me. This seems to be consistent with the structure exposed in DXL, where form is an attribute of the element rather than being a separate .
