Solved: Using Excel To Send Emails Through Lotus Notes

[shrivallabha]

I never thought that this was possible. But I found following code at
http://www.fabalou.com/VBandVBA/lotusnotesmail.asp

This code works fine except at one line:

'This public sub will send a mail and attachment if neccessary to the
'recipient including the body text.
'Requires that notes client is installed on the system.
Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, Recipient As String, BodyText As String, SaveIt As Boolean)
'Thanks to http://www.fabalou.com/VBandVBA/lotusnotesmail.asp
'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes
    Dim Maildb As Object 'The mail database
    Dim UserName As String 'The current users notes name
    Dim MailDbName As String 'THe current users notes mail database name
    Dim MailDoc As Object 'The mail document itself
    Dim AttachME As Object 'The attachment richtextfile object
    Dim Session As Object 'The notes session
    Dim EmbedObj As Object 'The embedded object (Attachment)
    
    'Start a session to notes
    Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
    
    'Next line only works with 5.x and above. Replace password with your password
    Session.Initialize ("password")
    'Get the sessions username and then calculate the mail file name
    'You may or may not need this as for MailDBname with some systems you
    'can pass an empty string or using above password you can use other mailboxes.
    
    UserName = Session.UserName
    MailDbName = Left$(UserName, 1) & Right$(UserName, (Len(UserName) - InStr(1, UserName, " "))) & ".nsf"
    'Open the mail database in notes
    
    Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", MailDbName)
    If Maildb.IsOpen = True Then
        'Already open for mail
    Else
        Maildb.OPENMAIL
    End If
    
    'Set up the new mail document
    Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
    MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
    MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
    MailDoc.Subject = Subject
    MailDoc.Body = BodyText
    MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
    
    'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
    If Attachment <> "" Then
        Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Attachment")
        Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "Attachment")
        MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")
    End If
    
    'Send the document
    MailDoc.PostedDate = Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
    
    MailDoc.SEND 0, Recipient
    'Clean Up
    Set Maildb = Nothing
    Set MailDoc = Nothing
    Set AttachME = Nothing
    Set Session = Nothing
    Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub

The program however fails at the Red Marked line. The error is application does not support this property or method (438).

So I opened Notes Session. Then commented out the red marked line and tested the code. The code runs correctly.

I'd like the code to start Notes - session and login with the specified ID and then execute further. This is for the first time I'm working on official project. And as usual I've stumbled. You guys are as usual the best help I can think of. Thank you.
