Receipient address changed to @wkldoinall.wk.dcx.com

u need to enter person names as personname@domain.com

Ex: maddy@yahoo.com, maddy1@abc.com

something like that. I think your receipient list is wrong.

Could you share some of the code with us, so we can see how you create the addresses and how you call the send-function?

Other suggestions:
- could you move from OLE to COM? Notes supports COM quite nicely
- in COM, the list of recipients should not be comma-separated, but it should be an array of strings, each string being one recipient

The domain seems to be yours, it points to ns1.sns-felb.debis.de

Tahnk you both for your response

To madheeswar:
I'm sorry, I just copied that part of the address that changed. It actually is preceded by a personname of course.

To sjef_bosman:
well, changing to COM would mean doing a re-write of the function, so first let's try it with OLE. You asked for the code - here it is:
Public Function SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, ByVal Recipient As String, ByVal str_CC As String, BodyText As String, SaveIt As Boolean) As String
'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)
    Dim Nachricht As String
    Dim Zeichen As Byte
    Dim str_Pfad As String
    Dim I As Integer
    Dim absender As String
    Dim n As Integer
   
    'Start a session to notes
    Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
    '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
    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
    absender = Session.CommonUserName
    n = InStr(1, absender, " ")
    If n > 0 Then
       absender = Mid$(absender, n + 1, Len(absender))
    End If
    'Set up the new mail document
    Set MailDoc = Maildb.CreateDocument
    MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
    MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
    MailDoc.copyto = str_CC
    MailDoc.Subject = Subject
    Open BodyText For Binary As #1
    While Not EOF(1)
       Get #1, , Zeichen
       Nachricht = Nachricht + Chr(Zeichen)
    Wend
    Close #1
    Nachricht = Left$(Nachricht, Len(Nachricht) - 1)
    str_Pfad = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
    I = Len(str_Pfad)
    While Mid$(str_Pfad, I, 1) <> "\"
       I = I - 1
    Wend
    str_Pfad = Left$(str_Pfad, I)
    Open str_Pfad + "MailFooter.txt" For Binary As #1
       While Not EOF(1)
       Get #1, , Zeichen
       Nachricht = Nachricht + Chr(Zeichen)
    Wend
    Close #1

    MailDoc.body = Nachricht
    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
    MailDoc.PostedDate = Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
    MailDoc.Send 0, Recipient
    'Clean Up
    Set Maildb = Nothing
    Set MailDoc = Nothing
    Set AttachME = Nothing
    Set Session = Nothing
    Set EmbedObj = Nothing
    SendNotesMail = absender
   
End Function

I tried your suggestion with the array but it failed in an interessting way: The document in the SENT MAIL folder had no recipients and the recipient got a mail with the original error.

I made the following assignment:

MailDoc.sendto = Recipient_1

where Recipient_1 was defined as array of strings. Or should I use the address-operator & in this case ?

To sjef_bosman and HemanthaKumar:
I just tried it out and only the first recipient received the massage. One improvement I got: No address was changed. I tried it with Internet-style- and Lotus-style addresses. So I assume using an array is one right step. The only missing step is how to tell Lotus how many recipients there are - any ideas ?

Thanks for yoour good support

Use Ubound for array count

You need to create as many entries in the array as there are recipients, e.g. use Redim Preserve for that purpose. Or if there is a VB-function that will split a string on a certain symbol (the comma) into an array of strings (like in JavaScript), then use that one.

Massage? Ist das freudianisch? ;)

To sjef_bosman and HemanthaKumar:

Thank you very much both of you. The code is now running with this array method. I just overlooked one detail: The MailDoc.Send instruction still passed the original Recipient variable instead of the new Recipient_1 Array-variable.

Keep up the good work and thanks again.
