Try this - you can set it up as a subroutine or as code.

'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&quot
'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, " &quot)) & ".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
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CREATEDOCUMENT
MailDoc.Form = "Memo"
MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.Subject = Subject
MailDoc.Body = BodyText
MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = SaveIt
'Set up the embedded object and attachment and attach it
If Attachment <> &quot;&quot; Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM(&quot;Attachment&quot
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EMBEDOBJECT(1454, &quot;&quot;, Attachment, &quot;Attachment&quot
MailDoc.CREATERICHTEXTITEM (&quot;Attachment&quot
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
End Sub

If you need to send to multiple people or carbon copy etc:

MailDoc.sendto = Recipient
MailDoc.CopyTo = ccRecipient
MailDoc.BlindCopyTo = bccRecipient


Also for multiple email addresses you just set MailDoc.sendto to an array of variants for each person to receive a copy.

Dim recip(25) as variant

recip(0) = &quot;emailaddress1&quot;
recip(1) = &quot;emailaddress2&quot; e.t.c

maildoc.sendto = recip

hope this helps

Thanks jmeadows7. Have a star!
Just got word we're switching to Notes and I think this will do the trick to change my code for automating Outlook messages. Thanks also for including syntax for all the options.

Does anyone know how to set the format of the email message to be HTML instead of plain text. For example in Outlook use would use the following line of code:

emailobject.HTMLbody = 'HTML goes here for body
