If you need to export or update a large amount of Lotus Notes data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using LotusScript, you can use ADODB.Recordset and SQL.
You can even update the Microsoft Excel data using the same process; you just need to change the SQL data.
For example, once you have added the data you can retrieve it by using the SQL "Select * from Empdata, where EmployeeID = 'Emp#10'". Also, you should make sure you update the value using oRs(1).Value = "New Name."
- Create a Microsoft Excel file (for example, on "D:TempExcelFile.xls).
- Write some labels on row 1 as:
EmployeeID EmployeeName
"EmployeeID" can be on cell A1
and "EmployeeName" on Cell B1.
- Now use menu "Insert>>Name>>Define."
- Write "EmpData" in the "Names in Workbook" field.
- Select Range "=Sheet1!$A$1:$B$1" in the "Refers To" field and click OK.
- Save the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
- Write the following LotusScript code on some form button:
Dim ORs As Variant
ReportPath = "D:TempExcelFile.xls"
Set oRs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
oRs.Open "Select * from EmpData",
{Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0";Data Source=}
& ReportPath & {; Extended
Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=NO:" },1,3
For I = 1 To 200
oRs.Addnew
oRs(0).Value = "Emp#" & Trim$(Cstr(I))
oRs(1).Value = "Employee Name" & Trim$(Cstr(I))
Next
oRs.Update
oRs.Close
