Conclusion
One of the main reasons I've enjoyed working with Notes so much is that my persistence usually pays off. I'll stick with a problem until I've licked it or decided that it's not worth licking anymore. I'm happy to say that I'm rarely unable to come up with a solution that works.

I hope that this article has helped remind you of a similar need in your company that is just waiting for you to fill it. Applications and solutions don't always have to be complicated to be great. They can just help bridge that simple gap that exists between the user and the information he wants. And sometimes that bridge is just a LotusScript agent and a CSV file away. It's kind of like looking at Nikolas Tesla in those newsreel films that show him with a metal pole in each hand and suddenly a continuous spark goes from one to the other.
