Like views, the NotesDocumentCollection class supports methods for processing documents within it, including GetFirstDocument, GetNextDocument, GetLastDocument, GetPrevDocument, and GetNthDocument. The methods work identically to their NotesView counterparts.

When a subset of documents has been collected into a NotesDocumentCollection, GetFirstDocument and GetNextDocument can be used to move through all of the documents in the collection, regardless of document type. (Document, Response, Response to Response) The GetFirstDocument method is capable of retrieving only the first document in a NotesDocumentCollection. GetNextDocument is then used to traverse the rest of the documents in the NotesDocumentCollection. In order to keep track of which document was the last document retrieved, GetNextDocument uses the document object reference variable (doc) as a parameter.
