Help With Lotus Notes

[doulostheou]

I have looked at several threads that turned up through the search feature, but I have never been able to figure out how to interface Access with Lotus. We use Access 97 and Lotus 4.51. I tried using a bit of code that seemed promising, but I keep getting an error message "ActiveX component can't create object" when it gets to this line:

Set s = CreateObject("NOTES.notesSession")

All I want is to be able to create a button which a user can click on to send a Lotus Note. I've been able to do this very easily with Outlook, but Lotus has been giving me nothing but problems.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't currently have the time to research automation, though I hopefully will later this week. The code you provided gave me the exact same error "ActiveX component can't create object" at approximately the same line "Set objNotesWS = CreateObject("Notes.NotesUIWorkspace")". Could I be missing a reference or was a feature disabled in Lotus Notes.

One other thing, I have limited access to Lotus. I am not formerly a member of the IT department and they have removed the ability for normal users such as myself to create forms, etc. Could this prevent me from sending e-mails from another application?

I had Lotus Notes open at the time I tried it, so that shouldn't be the problem. But what is a MAPI client?
