Hi there,

i'm new to programming in LN, so this might be a stupid question.
Anyway i want to know, if there is a way to access COM Objects under Windows
NT out of Lotus Notes.
The problem is that i want to write a Script, which listens to the TAPI Port
for incoming calls and opens up the appropriate contact entry in
the database.
If anyone has some infos on this i'm happy to get them :)

Thanks in advance

The latest versions of Domino are indeed COMable. The name of the
object is either Notes.NotesSession or Lotus.NotesSession, I don't
remember which. From there you can access the properties and methods
of almost all the back-end (and probably even front-end) Domino
Objects.

If you're asking about 'operating' COM objects from LN, yes, LotusScript
will do that, and it is event-aware. Although Notes is not the greatest
thing in the world for setting up a 'listener' task, unless you are writing
a server add-in. AFAIK there is not a good place to start a process and
keep it running for a long, long time.
