Is Lotus a com-server - can I create Lotus objects? 1

Createobject + Lotus
I am member of the visual foxpro-group and have asked this - with an answer perhaps somebody can answer
from this Lotus-group: (please look at the answer at the bottom of my question.)

Thanks for help

Is it technical possible to create a Lotus-object.

I experimentally tried:

LOCAL loLotus
loLotus = CREATEOBJECT("123w.application&quot
loLotus.VISIBLE = .T.

it does not work - missing class definition were claimed
(Lotus 123w is installed, of course.)

However this works:
run /n C:\lotus\123\123w

Help?

Unless Lotus 1-2-3w is a real COM server, the CREATEOBJECT() simply won't work. I'd
check the documentation - if it is a COM server, I'm sure they'd state it (if not promote it!),
otherwise you are out of luck.

Dear Sir,

You should Refer to Lotus On-Line Help on "How do I use OLE objects".

Dim appdoc As Variant
Dim appobj As Variant
Set appdoc = CreatObject ("Lotus123.Workbook&quot
REM this appdoc object is of type document
Set appobj = appdoc.parent
REM this appobj object is of type application and is what you want.
