In LotusScript, if a variant is referred to without a subscript, assume the default lower bound (0 or 1). For example, to refer to the value in the FirstName field...
doc.FirstName would be treated the same as doc.FirstName(0)
This would be useful as follows:
if doc.FirstName = "Ralph" then doc.IsAllowed = "No"
dim amt as integer
amt = doc.Amount
This would eliminate most of the Variant does not contain an object errors.

No. Variants are useful for slinging around arrays so this would be an extreme annoyance.

Instead of this, I would support something in the editor that automatically appends the (0) to the end if you hit a space after the fieldname. But it should ONLY work if you use one of the object methods for accessing the fields, such as GetItemValue. Nothing should be done to encourage the use of extended field syntax.
