I have been asked to be able to have data from a notes project database automatically shown on a sharepoint site. What they want is to show the word/excel docs that we store in the project db in the sharepoint folders…any suggestions?

Should be possible over the WebParts from Econium or Portal Adapter from Proposion - the problem would be to organize them.But take a look at the in sharepoint includet Web Capture Web Parts (http://blog.advisor.com/blog/garydev.nsf/d6plinks/GDEF-67NTES)

Notes dbs can be rendered to the web easily enough. You can construct URLs for anything, including specific documents. If you add the URLs into SharePoint, I think you can have people find things on the SP side and get to them on the Domino/Notes side.
I’ve only worked a bit with SP, but if I have it right, everything you see is actually a MS SQL Server db record. Folders aren’t actually folders but Db records that are made to look like folders. If that’s the case, then making URLs into records you put into ‘folders’ should be relatively easy.
At issue is that you’re trying to get two databases to work together. You can’t just stuff the Notes record into SP because that would just be the NSF file and of no real use. You probably don’t want to put the Excel/Word files in both dbs because then you have the problem of synchronization to deal with. That leave linking (or better suggestions by someone else…)
