: I know that Lotus Notes is not a relational data base, but does anyone know how to retrieve the output of one field and place it into another?
There are several ways to do this. If the fields are on two different forms you can set the first form up as a "Document".(in the form properties in the form type option.) Then set up the second doc as a response doc. Then in the second field set the default value = the first field.
The other ways to get this done would use DBColumn or DBLookup. I've used these in almost every db I've ever created.
Check out the following web site. Its a developers discussion forum on Lotus site. You can find out how to do most anything using the search function. (Do a search here for dblookups and dbcolumns.)
Good luck and I hope this has helped.
