A view cannot show data caintained in another database.<br />
You may need to copy certain fields from documents in that other database to existing/new documents in the current database to accomplish that.<br />
Alternatively, you could use a page or form in the current database, containing an emvedded view. That embedded view may reside in another database!

I'm a relative newbie to Lotus Notes, so forgive this question. &nbsp;I am simply trying to populate a column in a view with field data from another Notes database on the same server. &nbsp;Both databases have the key field &quot;Base&quot;. &nbsp; Is this possible &nbsp;or does a field have to be added to the form??

Populate View Column with Data from Another Notes Database

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.
