Please help a novice

Try something like this:

Dim db1 as NotesDataBase
Dim db2 as NotesDataBase
Dim doc1 as NotesDocument
Dim doc2 as NotesDocument

Set db1 = New NotesDatabase( "MetroNT4", "names.nsf" )
'MetroNT4 is the server name and names.nsf is the database
set db2 = New NotesDatebase("MetroNT4", "leave.nsf&quot

Then you will need to set the doc1 and doc2 to the specific documents in the database you want to compare. If you give a little more information about what you want to compare, I'll give you some more information on how to do the comparison.

Thanks a million for your help.

What I would need to do further is to lookup the value in the first database and update the field in each document of the second database.

Example:

str = DbLookup("":"NoCache";Serverath;"MemberLookup";CHARGE_TRANSIT; "Rollup_Transit&quot)

Then assign the value of the str to the field of the document from the second database.

Do you have to update ALL documents in the second database or only specific ones? what field are you trying to update? where exactly in the first database does the information come from? Do you have a view that has all the documents to be searched in it?

This really isn't going to be too difficult from what you've said, I just need some specifics.
