Thx again for your help.

It returns me nothing... I have totally no idea why!

var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase('', 'names.nsf');

var vw:NotesView = db.getView('$VIMPeople');

var userDoc:NotesDocument = vw.getDocumentByKey('Administrator/ChrisOrg', true);

var userFunc:String = userDoc.getItemValueString('Title');

return userFunc;

I tried changing 'names.nsf' to something else, this generates an error in db.getView => This indicates me that the NotesDatabase is OK

Then I changed the '$VIMPeople', this generates an error on getDocumentByKey=> This indicates me that the getView is OK

Then I changed the 'Administrator/ChrisOrg', this generates an error on getItemValueString => This indicates me that the getDocumentByKey is OK

Changing 'Title' did nothing, no errors!

But now I'm sure that the begin of my code is OK...

Thx

The method getItemValueString return an empty string if the item does not exist on the document.

Re: Get fields from names.nsf on Xpage

You'are right, my fault !!!

It's JobTitle that I filed in, Title is empty => reason why it returned me an empty string.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
