Thanks Larry,

By "VFP's COM" automation, do you mean using VFP to create an object reference to a Notes object ie. oNotes = CREATEOBJECT("Notes.Instance") (or whatever the syntax is) or what were you thinking? I will look into the below but was just wondering.

>This is the documentation example for using the NotesDatabase Search method. Find the Notes database where the Binder information is stored. The actual databases may be hidden from the Open Database listing but you should be able to get with your Notes admin and get a complete listing. Open that database using VFPs COM automation and use its Search method to get the appropriate Binder document returned in a document collection. You can then query any property (i.e. "field") in the document and get the information you need in VFP.
