There is a little doubt in my mind that whenever we use an object either in lotus script or javascript, we access the objects like form/field through document.form(0), why not just only document.form.
i have been using it without proper justification of why.
can any one please clear my doubt.
waiting for reply…

Because all notes items (of which form is one), are stored as arrays.
Just because a field only has a single value doesn’t mean it is stored as a single bit of text, it is still stored as an array, the first value of which is (0).
If you have a bit of script, run through it in the debugger and look at the form properties, under Items - this will give you all the properties of the fields and a better understanding of what is actually stored in the database.
