Mailto using Lotus Notes

[JanesC]

I use Lotus Notes to send email, so using the SendObject command to send email from Access doesn't work. The only way I could think of to send email was to use mailto in the hyperlink address. This function lets you specify the subject of the email, but is there a way to enter text in the body of the message or attach a report this way?

Did you ever have any luck with this?

Not really, but a friend came up with a way of doing this in Notes. I haven't had much chance to have a look at the code, but it seems to work. Let me know if you are interested and I will dig it out and post it.

JanesC,
I'd be interested in looking at this if you have the details please. I had a half hearted attempt at it earlier, but had to give up as another project came up, so didn't have the time to investigate it any further.
