LotusScript for Visual Basic Programmers - IBM Redbooks

Following is an explanation of the code:
We declare doc_src and doc_dest which will reference the source (first)
document and destination (second) document in the By Author View.
Dim doc_src As Object
Dim doc_dest As Object
We declare item as an object which will reference the Subject item in the
source document.
Dim item As Object
We get the reference to the source and destination documents using the
view’s methods:
Set doc_src = view.GetFirstDocument()
Set doc_dest = view.GetNextDocument(doc_src)
We get the Subject item using the GetFirstItem method of NotesDocument.
Set item = doc_src.GetFirstItem("Subject")
We copy the Subject item of the source document to the destination
document.
Call item.CopyItemToDocument(doc_dest, "Subject")
We remove the Subject item in the source document using the Remove
method of NotesItem.
Call item.Remove
Deleting an Item
Use either the Remove method of the NotesItem class or the RemoveItem
method of NotesDocument to remove an item from a document. The
Remove method removes only the current object; other items with the same
name remain in existence. The RemoveItem method removes all items with
the specified name.
After removing an item, you must call the Save method for the
NotesDocument object that contained the item or the update is lost when
the program exits.
For an example, refer to the section on how to copy an item using Notes
classes through OLE automation.
