Hi,

I have some code that creates emails with attachments via lotus notes but I cannot get it to confirm a delivery reciept.

does anybody have any help on how I can get this to work?

Here is the code i am using...

[red]
Public Sub SendNotesMail(Subject As String, Attachment As String, Recipient As String, BodyText As String, SaveIt As Boolean)
'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")
'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
'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 &quot;D:\My documents\Test Template.dot&quot; <> &quot;&quot; Then
Set AttachME = MailDoc.CreateRichTextItem(Attachment)
Set EmbedObj = AttachME.EmbedObject(1454, &quot;&quot;, Attachment, &quot;Attachment&quot;)
MailDoc.CreateRichTextItem (Attachment)
End If
'Send the document
MailDoc.PostedDate = Now() 'Gets the mail to appear in the sent items folder
MailDoc.Send 0, &quot;monkey@monkey.com&quot;
'Clean Up
Set Maildb = Nothing
Set MailDoc = Nothing
Set AttachME = Nothing
Set Session = Nothing
Set EmbedObj = Nothing
End Sub
[/red]

Cheers,

Hi mcbezza

You need to include another
Code:
MailDoc
property setting after the line
[blue]
Code:
Set MailDoc = Maildb.CreateDocument
[/blue]

The new line is as follows:
[red]
Code:
MailDoc.ReturnReceipt = &quot;1&quot;
[/red]

Don't test it by sending mails to yourself because you don't get the receipt. Test it with a friend!

Hope this helps!

Regards

Mac
