Making connections to a Domino or Notes data source using parts is even more convenient. The classes give you more control, but the parts will connect easily to any server that is reachable from your workstation. You will need to familiarize yourself with the following terms that are described below: access set, Domino Connection specification, and Domino Connection alias.
Click on Domino Connection to open the connection specification overview. Your result should look something like this:

For the following examples, you will work with one of the sample databases which come with VisualAge Smalltalk Domino Connection. If you have copied them into your local data directory (which was suggested in the post installation procedure), you must type in the name of the database and specify an entry for the server.
There is an even more convenient way to define the essentials of a connection specification: use the Find button to open the Domino directory view. Depending on your system setup you might find a variety of first level category entries in the browser or you might just find a single entry saying: local, if you are not connected to a server.
