Thanks,<br />
<br />
I had tried:<br />
<br />
Server = &quot;HUDSON/HudsonGeneral&quot;<br />
Database = &quot;apps\Benefits.nsf&quot;<br />
<br />
That extra \ did the trick!!!

Thanks,

I had tried:

Server = "HUDSON/HudsonGeneral"

I'm having trouble accessing a Notes Database that's on my server, via Visual Basic. I'm sure it's a simple syntax thing, since I have no such problem when the database is in the default directory (Notes/Data) on the Local server. Here's the code:<br />
<br />
Dim session As Object, db As Object, view As Object<br />
<br />
Set session = CreateObject(&quot;Notes.NotesS<wbr />ession&quot;)<br />
Set db = session.GETDATABASE(&quot;&quot;, &quot;Benefit.nsf&quot;)<br />
Set view = db.GetView(&quot;EmpSS&quot;)<br />
<br />
This works great since it's the Local server. When I try to go to my server, I get an error trying to set the view, saying the database isn't open. Please let me know what the syntax should be for:<br />
<br />
Server = &quot;HUDSON/HudsonGeneral&quot;<br />
Database = &quot;Notes/Data/Apps/Benefit.n<wbr />sf&quot;<br />
<br />
I've tried many variations of the server name &amp;&nbsp;database path, but with no luck.<br />
<br />
Thanx<br />

Accessing Notes Databases via VB

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
