I have connected to a Lotus Notes database through an ODBC link. But the tables that are returned do not seem to make sense. How is a Lotus Notes database structured? Ladyhawk. [idea]

Each document in an .nsf (notes database) is a record that contains various fields and data in the fields. Think of the documents as forms for displaying the data. Each doc has a NotesDocID that would be your primary key.

Views are pretty much the same as they are in a relational DB. They are a collection of the records that may or may not have been criteria based. They display the fields (as columns) and the data within the field (as rows).

good enough? Gamesman
