The following Visual Basic code will send a Notes e-mail message. The code includes examples of code to include an attachment and to save the sent message, which are both optional and can be removed if desired.
Dim Maildb As Object
Dim MailDoc As Object
Dim Body As Object
Dim Session As Object
'Start a session to notes
Set Session = CreateObject("Lotus.NotesSession")
'This line prompts for password of current ID noted in Notes.INI
Call Session.Initialize
'or use below to supply password of the current ID
'Call Session.Initialize("
'Open the mail database in notes
Set Maildb = Session.GETDATABASE("", "c:\notes\data\mail\mymail.nsf")
If Not Maildb.IsOpen = True Then
Call Maildb.Open
End If
'Create the mail document
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
Call MailDoc.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Memo")
'Set the recipient
Call MailDoc.ReplaceItemValue("SendTo", "John Doe")
'Set subject
Call MailDoc.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", "Subject Text")
'Create and set the Body content
Set Body = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM("Body")
Call Body.APPENDTEXT("Body text here")
'Example to create an attachment (optional)
Call Body.ADDNEWLINE(2)
Call Body.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", "C:\filename", "Attachment")
'Example to save the message (optional)
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = True
'Send the document
'Gets the mail to appear in the Sent items folder
Call MailDoc.ReplaceItemValue("PostedDate", Now())
Call MailDoc.SEND(False)
'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set Body = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Note: The Visual Basic programmer needs to set the Reference to use Lotus Domino objects prior to implementing this function. To enable the Lotus Notes classes to appear in the Visual Basic browser, you must execute the following within VB: Select Tools, References and select the checkbox for 'Lotus Notes Automation Classes'.
The above code is from the IBM support. GETDATABASE given here is pointing to the sample MailDB; you need to change that to your DB.
You can do that by
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)

ReplyDeletehi... i have a problem where on most of my client's lotus notes, my VBA code is generating html format emails.... but on one client, their lotus Notes seems to be reformatting the borders and replaced it with +-| characters for the borders and completely lost the html formatting...and on their user preferences, it is set to 'html and text' format.
ReplyDeletecan anyone help or suggest anything?

Can someone point me to a code which can be used to Reply to a mail in Lotus Notes?
ReplyDeleteHello there,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the code. I wonder if you could be so kind as to help me out with one question? How do you code VBA so that it will send you an email when there is new information available?
I am trying to code VBA so that once an automatic system update data on a worksheet, Excel will send me an email to notify me that these data has been updated.
Thank you very much.
Thanx a lot for the code...Really solved my problem
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm struggling to find a way to automate a Lotus Notes email - but instead of creating a new memo each time, I'd like to Stationery I've created.
ReplyDeleteHoping someone out there can help... Thank you!! Amy
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have an issue in putting the data in lotus notes email through vba excel.
I have to take the content from 3 columns of the mutlitple records in a spreadsheet and put it in the lotus notes provided one of the column satisfies the particular condition. I'm done with this to.
But the spacing between the content of column 1 & column 2 is not even for all records.
For example
Row#1 Text 1 Text 2
Row#2 Text12424 Text989
Row#3 Text38 Text7908
I have tried filling spaces based on column width and used vbtab method. But still the text position of column 2 is not even for all the records. Even though the length of the text in column 1 for multiple records are same, they don't end in the same position because of the different width of the characters.
For example The text "Rakesh LNU" and the text "Saxenabeat" do not end at the same position in column 1 even though they have the same number of characters.
Hope someone can help me out. Thank you!
The code is using late binding as all objects are generic objects and not LOTUS DOMINO objects.
ReplyDeleteSo possibly, it can be run without setting reference to LOTUS DOMINO LIBRARY.
Currently, I am working on building a similar code. And your thread has helped me. So thanks.
