Need Help Creating Agents

[DaveMac]

I love moving from Outlook to Lotus notes! Sorry I have to keep telling myself that so I do not loose my mind. That being said I really do see where Lotus can do so much more but since I do not know how to do it I am currently hosed.

Help! I had lots of macros in Outlook to automate my tasks. I need to create “Agents” I guess now. I want to start with this one.

Given an Open or selected email message I would like to:
Step 1 - Copy into new
Step 2 – To Do
Step 3 – Category “Projects”
Step 4 – Return to Inbox after mail message has now been deleted from mail

Thanks this will be my first coding in a non VB environment

Do you have the Designer client installed ?
If not, you will be restricted to Formula agents and you'll have a heck of a time getting the field names right.

With Formula language, you can probably do most of what you have outlined. What version of Notes are you on ?

Pascal.

I've got nothing to hide, and I'd very much like to keep that away from prying eyes.

Thanks for the response!
Lotus 6.0
No designer installed. Is that a free tool?
I have had some additional thoughts since I first created this post.
My Thought was I could create folders for each action type I want. So I would have a folder that say “New To Do Meeting” and when I drag and drop an email object into it the agent would copy that email into a new to do task and categorize it as Meeting.

Any thoughts on how to code the movements and entry pieces? Thanks for your help!!!

Just downloaded Designer

So it's installed and it works ? You can access your database design with it ?

Be careful, you have the developer tool there. That means that you can make disastrous mistakes.

Pascal.
