Code exports Lotus Notes data to an OpenOffice Calc spreadsheet
The ability to transfer Lotus Notes data from a database to an Excel spreadsheet has been available for some time. If you're using OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheets, however, you'll need to use this LotusScript code instead.
Many organizations currently prefer to use free OpenOffice.org over the Microsoft Office suite due to licensing issues and fees. While Lotus Notes users can export Lotus Notes data from a database to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the same code won't work in OpenOffice Calc spreadsheets.
