The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Connecting to a different mailin DB in lotus notes

Asked by Dezzar82 in Lotus Notes, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: lotus notes html email maildb mime

Hi All,

I am using some code originally posted by Bill Hanson for sending HTML emails through lotus notes.  Posted here:  http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Office_Suites/Lotus_SmartSuite/Lotus_Notes/Q_24468076.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+attach+displai+imag+lotu

..and thank you very much Bill it has provided some functionality long missing from my systems.

Previously I had been using some avilable code that I'd fine tuned for just plain text emails....

Two questions then:
a) I find with this code that I am unable to set the "Principal" with the email.  Generally I had been able to say set say (MailDoc.Principal = "Frederick Von Harpen") in the mail code and so when the mail was sent, it would appear to come from good ol frederick.  Setting [Call doc.ReplaceItemValue ("Principal","Frederick Von Harpen")]is ineffectual on this code and I'm not really sure why....it should work the same as does CopyTo, BlindCopyTo, RepyTo etc...all of which work, except "Principal"

b) I would like to be able to send the mail through a specified mail database.  The code just grabs your default mail DB for sending the mail, but here in the office we have lotus notes open with our own mail, and common shared mailboxes.  How would I modify the code to select a specific mailbox?

I am not overly proficient in VB so please be kind in your responces as I am likely to simply copy paste and test :)

Cheers
DeZZar
