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."

  1. Create a Microsoft Excel file (for example, on "D:TempExcelFile.xls).

  2. Write some labels on row 1 as:

    "EmployeeID" can be on cell A1 and "EmployeeName" on Cell B1.

  3. Now use menu "Insert>>Name>>Define."

  4. Write "EmpData" in the "Names in Workbook" field.

  5. Select Range "=Sheet1!$A$1:$B$1" in the "Refers To" field and click OK.

  6. Save the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

  7. Write the following LotusScript code on some form button:
