That's it (Isn't Lotus cryptic?). The ODBC driver installation will warn you about not being able to find Notes but I believe you can bypass this.

>>>Help please!!!!!!
>>>Is there any way to pull data from a Lotus Notes NSF file without having a lotus client on the users machine? I've tried using the ODBC driver from lotus but it said that I needed to have a lotus client installed. What I want to do is write a report based on the data by using VFP remote query/view. Any help would be great. The notes data is on a network.

>>Bill,
>>The Notes ODBC DLL uses the NNOTES.DLL file to handle authentication and various other functionality issues with Notes. As such, you need this file available.
>>
>>The normal behavior of the Notes driver is to check the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes\4.0 or 5.0 registry key and look at the Path value stored there. This points to the Notes directory where that DLL is located.

>>While I haven't tried it, if you manually create the necessary registry entry and point it to the directory on the server where Notes is installed, it may work.
