This one has me stumped. I am using Access 2003 and have successfully used this code in other DBs to send emails via Lotus Notes. I have modifed my original code for a new database and I am getting a: "ByRef Argument Type Mismatch" Compile Error. I cannot seem to find the cause.

Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Sub ShiftEmailSend()
    Dim stToShift As String
    Dim HoldFBR As String
    Dim HoldMF As String
    Dim HoldINS As String
    Dim HoldFin As String
    Dim HoldBDEvents5 As String
    Dim HoldFBT As String
    Dim HoldUBF As String
    Dim HoldFF As String
    Dim HoldRF As String
    Dim HoldMC As String
    Dim HoldSML As String
    Dim HoldSMR As String
    Dim HoldBDEvents10 As String
    Dim HoldComments As String
    Dim HoldZone1Title As String
    Dim HoldZone2Title As String
    Dim HoldZone3Title As String
    Dim HoldCommentsTitle As String
    Dim HoldBDEvents5Title As String
    Dim HoldBDEvents10Title As String
    Dim HoldHeadingTitle As String
 
    HoldHeadingTitle = "    ANDON" & vbTab & "SAP ENTRY" & vbCrLf
    HoldZone1Title = "Zone 1" & vbCrLf
    HoldFBR = "FBR:      " & Forms!frmShiftReport!FBRAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!FBRSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldMF = "MF:       " & Forms!frmShiftReport!MFAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!MFSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldINS = "Install:  " & Forms!frmShiftReport!InstallAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!InstallSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldFin = "Final:    " & Forms!frmShiftReport!FinalAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!FinalSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldBDEvents5Title = "BD Events > 5 mins" & vbCrLf
    HoldBDEvents5 = Forms!frmShiftReport!BDEvents5.Value & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    HoldZone2Title = "Zone2" & vbCrLf
    HoldFBT = "FBT:      " & Forms!frmShiftReport!FBTAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!FBTSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldUBF = "UBF:      " & Forms!frmShiftReport!UBFAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!UBFSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldFF = "FF:       " & Forms!frmShiftReport!FFAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!FFSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldRF = "RF:       " & Forms!frmShiftReport!RFAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!RFSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldMC = "MC:       " & Forms!frmShiftReport!MCAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!MCSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldSML = "SML:      " & Forms!frmShiftReport!SMLAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!SMLSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldSMR = "SMR:      " & Forms!frmShiftReport!SMRAndon.Value & vbTab & Forms!frmShiftReport!SMRSAP.Value & vbCrLf
    HoldBDEvents10Title = "BD Events > 10 mins" & vbCrLf
    HoldBDEvents10 = Forms!frmShiftReport!BDEvents10.Value & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    HoldZone3Title = "Zone 3" & vbCrLf
    HoldCommentsTitle = "Comments" & vbCrLf
    HoldComments = Forms!frmShiftReport!Comments.Value
 
   stToShift = "Manufacturing Maintenance Email"
 
    Call SendShiftNotesMail("MTC Shift Notes", stToShift, HoldHeadingTitle, HoldZone1Title, HoldFBR, HoldMF, HoldINS, HoldFin, _
    HoldBDEvents5Title, HoldBDEvents5, HoldZone2Title, HoldFBT, HoldUBF, HoldFF, HoldRF, HoldMC, [B][COLOR=red]H[/COLOR][COLOR=red]oldSML[/COLOR][/B], HoldSMR, HoldBDEvents10Title, _
    HoldBDEvents10, HoldZone3Title, HoldCommentsTitle, HoldComments, True)
 
End Sub

The HoldSML is what is highlighted when I debug and the compile error appears. I tried removing the HoldSML completely, and when I compiled: HoldMC was highlighted. So I know it's not specific to HoldSML.

This is the code I am using to send the email:

Code:
'This public sub will send a mail to the recipient including the body text.
'Requires that notes client is installed on the system.
Public Sub SendShiftNotesMail(Subject As String, Recipient As String, FBR As String, MF As String, INS As String, Fin As String, _
BDEvents5 As String, FBT As String, UBF As String, FF As String, RF As String, MC As String, SML As String, SMR As String, _
BDEvents10 As String, Comments 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 Session As Object 'The notes session
    Dim EmbedObj As Object 'The embedded object (Attachment)
    '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 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 = FBR & vbCrLf & MF & vbCrLf & INS & vbCrLf & Fin & vbCrLf & BDEvents5 & vbCrLf & FBT & vbCrLf & _
    UBF & vbCrLf & FF & vbCrLf & RF & vbCrLf & MC & vbCrLf & SML & vbCrLf & SMR & vbCrLf & BDEvents10 & vbCrLf & Comments
    MailDoc.SaveMessageOnSend = SaveIt
    '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 Session = Nothing
    Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub

Any insight / direction / input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Try commenting out Option Compare Database. Then Compile and see what happens.
 
Same compile error. No difference.
 
Hmmm... You are passing the right type (String to String), so do not understand, why you get this error..
Try giving access as Public to the Calling Sub.. as
Code:
[COLOR=Red][B]Public[/B][/COLOR] Sub ShiftEmailSend()
Also try replacing the Sub as..
Code:
Public Sub SendShiftNotesMail([COLOR=Red][B]ByVal[/B][/COLOR] Subject As String, [COLOR=Red][B]ByVal[/B][/COLOR] Recipient As String....
See if you still get the Error.
 
Oh, I got it! I will fix on Monday as my work day is done. Thanks helping me think this through!
 
You are passing 24 arguments to a subroutine that can only receive 17 arguments.

The 17th argument passed is HoldSML, which is a string, but the 17th receiving argument is SaveIt As Boolean.

Chris.
