creating a Notes document and notes item

Hi, I just tried a very simple code to create a document and to create a new item. Document gets created but not the new item.Below is the code:

Sub Initialize
      Dim Session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim doc1 As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem
Set db = session.Currentdatabase
      Set doc1 = New NotesDocument(db)
            Set item = New NotesItem _
       (doc1, "ModifiedBy", session.UserName)

            Call doc1.save(True, True)
End Sub

Where is this code? Is it an agent? How do you know that the item isn't created? Can you look up the document in a view and open the Document Properties dialog box? You may need to add a Form item if this is agent code, e.g.
Call doc1.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Discussion")

Thank you Francois Koutchouk and Sjef Bosman.

Yes I didn't know that the field should already exist to copy value to it.
I am new to Lotus Notes. Now my issue is solved.

Sorry, but I don't understand your last comment. Depending on where you have your code, there is no need that a field exists before you "copy a value to it". Can you show us the code that works for you? Thanks.
