HELP!!! Anyone have any idea how can I set up communication with a Domino Server? AND... any suggestion about the best way to conduct synchronization between the 2 application. I'm using Access database in the VB section but Lotus/Domino doesn't use a table type database.

What formats can you use to _export_ from Lotus/Domino?

It's not necessary for Notes to export anything. It's the VB app that needs to connect to the server. The Domino server is constantly online just waits and listen. The Client (VB app) have to do a dial-up to the network and locate the Domino server. I am considering ODBC but not sure of how VB interacts with that. Lotus doesn't store data in table form, it stores them in forms. That's the problem...

Hi
I'm new in VB...

I guest that you are using Jet

Can u communicate the Vb application local at the Domino Server..?

If can..in order not to do anything with the table created on Form. U must develop another communication application as the " middle man" for your client to acces the database.

This "middle man" application will be working as same concept as Borland Database Engine (BDE) if you familiar with.

Perhaps in this this "middle man" application u should consider ADO connection for faster transaction.

Structure
----------

Client <=====>"Middle man" application <=====>Domino Server
