Lotus Notes E-mail Using VB6

[tenbobmillionaire]

Does anyone know how you can send mail to a lotus notes email address using Visual Basic 6? What reference or object or whatever do I need to include in my project and does anyone have any example code.
thanks in advance
Mick

Hi,
this is something i did in vb 6.
Bill

the log is an attached file you can specify a path to where the file is located so it would be attached or leave a nul value.
sub main()
Log = ""
Memo = "hi bla bla bla," & Chr(13) & _
"bla bla bla."
Exposure_Error = "this is a test "
MailTo01 = "person@email.com"
MailTo02 = "person@email.com"
MailTo03 = "person@email.com"
SendNotesMail Exposure_Error, Log, MailTo01, MailTo02, MailTo03, Memo, False

end sub

Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, _
Recipient01, Recipient02, Recipient03, BodyText As String, SaveIt As Boolean)
