Hi all,

I'm a rookie developer and need some guidance. I am trying to put together a simple Notes Client application that can track equipment issued to employees. Items like laptops, cell phones, etc.

My vision is a form that will populate fields from the Public Address Book names.nsf after I select the employee from a names field and then click a Look Up Button.

The lower half of the form would be a table where I would select from known assets and then add serial numbers, dates issued, etc. The end goal would be a nice one page report of the employee and their issued equipment.

Can someone guide me in the construct of looking up the employee and having the person doc fields returned to my form?

I am aware of @DbLookup, but can't figure out how to implement it via the look up button I created. 

Am I correct in using a NAmes field to get the employee name and then using a look up button to populate the form? Or is there some easier way of approaching this?

Is anyone aware of perhaps a sandbox app that is already out there for me to tweak?

Thank you kindly...
