LotusScript is a dialect of the BASIC programming language used by Lotus Notes and other IBM Lotus Software products.

LotusScript is very similar to Visual Basic; code can often be copied without modification from one to the other. The difference is in the product-specific object classes that are included in Lotus Notes, Lotus Word Pro and Lotus 1-2-3.

In the case of Lotus Notes, there are classes to work with Notes databases, documents (records) in those databases, etc. These classes can also be used as OLE Automation objects outside of the Lotus Notes environment, from Visual Basic.

LotusScript also allows the definition of user-defined types and classes, although it is not possible to inherit from the product-specific classes.
