Email and Notes and VFP using the DCO.OCX

[greywalk]

I have downloaded the IBM/Lotus Notes Domino Collaborative Object and when I attempt to send mail through my program. I get a dreaded error message from the ActiveX object. It says

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from DCO: ActiveX component can't create the object...

Here is the code.

***** Mail Object references.
loMail = CREATEOBJECT('DCO.loMail')
loMail.sendto = 'Greywalk@yahoo.com'
loMail.Body = 'Test of object'
loMail.Subject = 'Date 11/25/02'



*!* ERROR message: cannot create the object
*!*
lomail.send


I am using win98 with Notes 5.0.4 in a Novell LAN environment.

Any help would be appreciated. For your information I have read all the FAQs on here about the email and Notes. I have seen the code earlier from another thread about notes and vfp. I have also searched the Micorsoft KBase and read all of that. Finally I have done the same for the Lotus developer thread on the Lotus site.

Thanks,

Hi greywalk,

Could you let me know the web site where you down load the IBM/Lotus Notes Domino Collaborative Object? I want to give a try. Currently, I am using Notes 5.0.6 with Win2000 in a NT4 network.

The download site from lotus is:

http://www.lotus.com/developers/devbase.nsf/homedata/dcodownload

just follow the directions.

I have further information. You will need to check your registry. It will have to have in the HKey Class Root under applications the following:

Lotus.NotesSession

If it is not there the Domino Collaborative Object will not work because it makes a call to the registry for the following:

Lotus.NotesSession.Clsid and
Lotus.NotesSession

Hopefully it will work for you. With the DCO.OCX the coding is very very simple.

Add the object to your form through the OLE container and then:


here is the code:

loMail = CREATEOBJECT('DCO.loMail')
loMail.sendto = 'Greywalk@yahoo.com'
loMail.Body = 'Test of object'
loMail.Subject = 'Date 11/25/02'

loMail.send

at this point I got the following error:

OLE IDispatch exception Code 0 from DCO: ActiveX component can't create object.

Let me know how it goes with you.

Thanks
