Answer 3

1. You can use the ReadViewEntries URL option and that returns data as XML --> http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/domino%5Fnotes/7.0/help7%5Fdesigner.nsf/855dc7fcfd5fec9a85256b870069c0ab/63d772b44948d4848525704a003f6544?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,readviewentries

2. You can use the COM classes to access the database. Actually the first link that @Konamiman posted covers both solutions --> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/domino-msnet/index.html
