Re: LotusScript example

Gregg, below is the code. So far it's working great. It returns all ID 
files on a users PC. There have been a few instances where it triggered an 
ECL alert. It also assumes the user has access to create objects on their 
C drive.

If I get an empty email in return I know I need to investigate that user. 

If the user doesn't see the button then they aren't using a notes client 
(and instead are using web access, a thin client or outlook etc...). They 
are instructed to notify me if this happens.

Regardless I get either a backup of their ID file or a clue that I need to 
have their notes config investigated and a backup via another means.
