Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : LEI virtual views

Hi,

I'm currently trying to create a view that draws from three different Notes databases, using a field that is found on the documents in the first database to locate the documents in the second database, and another field found on these documents to locate docs in the third database. Of course, I can't use @DbColumn or @DbLookup in view column formulas, so I'm exploring other methods to get this info.

One option that was suggested to me was to use LEI's virtual views feature to create a view using connection documents to the three Notes database. However, it looks like my version of LEI does not allow for connections to other Notes databases, just to other database platforms. I have Domino 6.5 installed, but I'm not sure what version of LEI we have installed here. I can say that the user interface shown in the "Implementing LEI 6.5" Redbook looks different than the user interface we have here, and that interface indeed shows a screen shot that offers "Notes" as a connection document option. However, "Notes" is not an option on my version of LEI.

So here's my questions:

(1) How can I find out what version of LEI I have installed on my system?
(2) Does LEI 6.5 support connections to other Notes databases, as well as databases on other platforms?
(3) Can I set up a virtual view in LEI that displays data from multiple Notes databases?
(4) If I can't do what I want to do with LEI, is there another way to go about getting info on documents from other Notes databases in a view?

I need to have a solution in place by tomorrow, so any help you can provide me is *much* appreciated!

Thanks,
Sam
