Lotos Email via VBA
Carsten Steinhoff
i try to send an email from MS Excel via Notes Memo. Nearly everything
works fine, but two problems remaining;
(1) I don't get the Mail automatically flagged and sent as high-
priority (although i set two flags in the vba -code)
(2) My signature always is created automatically at the very beginning
of a mail. Is it possible to suppress the signature when a new memo is
created, or to delete the whole body once and replace it by other text
in a second step?
Thanx for any help.
Below the VBA-Coding still in use:
Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, _
Recipient As String, BodyText 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 AttachME As Object 'The attachment richtextfile object
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")
'Next line only works with 5.x and above. Replace password with
your password
'Session.Initialize ("password")
'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
Signature = Maildb.GetProfileDocument
("CalendarProfile").GetItemValue("Signature")(0)
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
With MailDoc
.Form = "Memo"
.sendto = Recipient
.CopyTo = ""
.Subject = Subject
'.HTMLBody = <html><body><br>dicke Schrift</br></body></html>
.Body = BodyText & Chr(13) & Signature
.ReturnReceipt = "1"
.Importance = "1"
.DeliveryPriority = "H"
End With
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
If Attachment <> "" Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CreateRichTextItem("Attachment")
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, "", Attachment,
"Attachment")
'MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM ("Attachment")
End If
'Send the document
'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder

'MailDoc.SEND 0, Recipient
