Create an admin tools database. In the database create a form and add the following fields.

FIELDNAME: Server 
Type     : Names
Comment  : Use address book for lookup

FIELDNAME: DBPath
Type     : Text

FIELDNAME: NoteID
Type : Text 
Translation Formula: 
@IF(@Contains(NoteID;"NT");@Right(NoteID;@Length(NoteID)-2);NoteID)
This will remove the NT portion of the ID.

	server = uidoc.FieldGetText("Server")
	dbpath = uidoc.FieldGetText("DbPath")
	noteid = uidoc.FieldGetText("NoteID")
	Set db = s.GetDatabase(server, dbpath)
	If db.isopen Then
