Latest Update Page

I am extremely new to programming in Lotus Notes.  (Today is my first day)but not to programming in general.  I am pretty good in Access, VB, ASP and other areas.

I say that because with my question I may need a bit more explanation than many of the people that post to this site until I get up to Lotus Speed.

With that said I need to put a page in a database so when users open the db the first page they see lists the new updates whether it be announcements, attachments, edits to technical documents in the db etc etc.

I know that Lotus tracks this data "history" in some way but not sure how to access this wellspring of info in a step by step fashion.

Can someone explain this to a newborn Lotus programmer?

Thanks
Randy

Randy2001,
No comment has been added to this question in more than 728 days, so it is now classified as abandoned..
I will leave the following recommendation for this question in the Cleanup topic area:

RECOMMENDATION: split points between HemanthaKumar http:#7063622 and SysExpert http:#7065574 and jerrith http:#7066249

Any objections should be posted here in the next  4  days. After that time, the question will be closed.

Thanks,

So, why did we only get a B?
Well, a detailed step by step description of how to solve a problem would certainly certify as a complete answer, so I'd give all of us an A for this.
It's not because a user is too lazy or whatever that experts shouldn't get the grade they deserve, right?

After all, it's the experts that make EE work, don't they?

I think my fellow experts would agree that certainly in this case the problem was solved by the comments provided.

Kind regards,
JM
The whole grading system concept is nonsense.
When a dumb user who needs my help to solve his problems also is allowed to grade my level of expertise, then is he the greater expert then me!
His grading is and can only be a way to say: Thank You!

I Concur with JM...When it is abondened it doesn't mean that the answer was not given to user satisfaction.. Plainly the Asker has ignored the effort  that expert has put in and when defaulted it is not the expert who has to be penalised with Grade anything other than "A"

There is no one other than user who can validate the soln. When he doesn't grade he lost his chance and by default it should be graded as "A"

Okay, thanks, netminder.
And thanks for the backup guys :-)
JM, I have recd numerous B from the abondened question last week ;-)  
Well, certainly in the case of Hemantha, I'm sure every single answer should have been an A :-p
Yes, yes. I agree. A B is still better than nothing :-D
Nevermind... NetMinder. I am planning to quit the forum soon so the points really doesn't matter !!
That's what you get when people don't get rewarded for the free time they put it.
Even the best experts can only take so much and will leave EE :-)

Sad to see you go Hemantha, you're a to expert!
...top expert I mean of course :)
