The NotesDocument class provides several properties and methods to access the items in the document. If you do not know the name of an item or want to traverse the items in a document, you can use the Items property, an array of NotesItem objects. As you access each array element, use the NotesItem properties and methods to interrogate and manipulate the object.

To access an item whose name is known, use the GetFirstItem of NotesDocument.

You can get the value of an item through several techniques. The first two techniques do not require that you first access the item object.

• After accessing the NotesDocument object containing the item, you can specify the item name as though it were a property of the document. For example, if doc is the name of a document object and Subject is an item in the document, doc.Subject is the value of the item.
• You can use the GetItemValue method of NotesDocument.
• You can access the item and examine its Values property.

To get the text values of the items named Received in a document, use GetReceivedItemText.

Two items can have the same name. To access an item other than the first item, use the Items property of NotesDocument.
