I haven't found any thing useful. the best that I could do was have the lotus server serve up the pages and then I used PHP's fileopen function to open the URL of the Lotus page and parse the document to get the information I needed.

i'm not even sure if lotus is SQL compliant.
sorry I can't help

Hi,

It is possible to connect to .nsf files using the ODBC driver "NotesSQL" from www.lotus.com However, i've found this patchy and unreliable since it works well with views but not so well with forms!

Anon

thanks. i'll check it out.

I liked this idea anyway but does anyone else wish that Lotus would release one for Linux or other Unix ? You would think they would since Lotus is in with IBM and IBM is gung ho Linux ?

But even the latest NotesSQL 3.01
http://www.lotus.com/homepage.nsf/(search)/search?OpenDocument&NotesSQL

NotesSQL 3.01 provides the following enhancements:

This release simplifies the user interface for password processing, both in the Connection dialog box and when using SQLBrowseConnect.
The behavior and appearance of NotesSQL dialogs and message boxes throughout the product are improved.
NotesSQL now provides additional support for Subforms contained in a table.
NotesSQL now processes file DSNs more smoothly.
The appearance and behavior of the Authentication List Manager are enhanced.

System Requirements:

One of the following:
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or 2000
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or later with Service Pack 4 or later
One of the following, with a full user license:
