Notes email w/attachment (1 Viewer)

Hi,

Here is some code I am using to send an e-mail from Lotus Notes with an attachment:

Public Function SendNotesMail()
'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.

'Set up the objects required for Automation into lotus notes

Dim Subject As String
Dim Attachment As String
Dim Recipient As String
Dim BodyText As String
Dim SaveIt As Boolean
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)
Dim EmailSend As Object
Dim EmailApp As Object

'Start a session to notes

Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")

'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
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 = "lucour@accesswave.ca"
MailDoc.Subject = "TDBank Validation File"
MailDoc.Body = "Here is your TDBank Validation File for today."
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt

'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it

If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM.Add("C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")

End If

'Send the document
MailDoc.Send 0, Recipient

'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj = Nothing

End Function


This works fine, except for one thing. It is not sending the attachment C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt .......... Does anyone know why?

Silly question but I'm presuming that the file C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt does actually exist??

I've been playing around with this as I need to achieve similar

If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM.Add("C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")

End If


I removed the If part so it would send the attachment regardless, but I get a type mismatch error on this line
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM.Add("C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")
although it is a rich text file, I have tried creating this file as .DOC and .RTF file types but I get the same error.


Ideally I would like to be able to attach an Excel document to the mail, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have also tried .GetAttachment, but to no affect

I now have it working!!!!!

Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment, "C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")

replace this line with this, and the mail gets sent with the attachment

Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", "C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")

note - I also removed this line

MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("C:\Consoles\Hfxtest.txt")


it also works with any file type, I am using it with .xls documents
