Open a database from user’s local machine using lotusscript

Hi all,

How can I access another database from user’s local machine in lotusscript?

If I use new NotesDatabase and use “” for server, then it opens the database from the server, if the current database that runs the script is on the server.

Thanks

As far as I can see, there’s no way an agent running on a Notes Domino Server could access a database sitting on a computer (the user’s machine) that’s not also running Domino.

The Notes Client does not have the code that would allow it to act as a server to other machines. It’s strictly a client.

You would have to force your code to run on the clients machine, in which case the Server = “” parameter would select local databases on that machine.
