The scope of a script library is the current application. All scripts in a database can avail themselves of the LotusScript, JavaScript, or Java in a library in that database. However, the library is lost to scripts outside the database. For example, if a button in a document uses a script library and you mail the document to or paste it into another database that does not have the same script library, the script fails. If a script attempts to use a library not in the current database, the error message, "Error loading USE or USELSX module" displays.

Note In release 8.0, Domino web services were made available to applications through web service enabled script libraries. With release 8.5, web service consumers are a separate element from script libraries.
