Lotus Notes Send EMail from VB or VBA

Lotus Notes Send EMail from VB or VBA

This ORIGINAL piece of code shows you how to mail direct from VBA or VB into lotus notes. Requires Lotus Notes Client 4.5.x or later is installed on your system.

As far as I can tell the Lotus Notes objects all have to be late bound otherwise you get errors. I have never found out the reason for this (the only thing I can think of is there is an error in the lotus notes api). Feel free to use this code, but if you do use it, please put a link from your site if you have one. Don't as many people have done blantantly rip it off and call it your own. I'm watching you and it's going to bite.

Point of note. Certain versions of 4.x client handle differently. If you get an error on the line  MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment"), then try removing that line. In later versions of notes API this task is carried out by the previous line. Earlier versions required the call afterwards. Can't seem to fathom out the reason for that.

'Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject as string, attachment as string,
'recipient as string, bodytext as string,saveit as Boolean)
'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)
'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
 

If you want to send a message to more than one person or copy or blind carbon copy the following may be of use to you.

MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.CopyTo = ccRecipient
MailDoc.BlindCopyTo = bccRecipient

Also for multiple email addresses you just set MailDoc.sendto to an array of variants each of which will receive the message. So

Dim recip(25) as variant
recip(0) = "emailaddress1"
recip(1) = "emailaddress2" e.t.c

maildoc.sendto = recip

Thanks must go out to
