multiple addressees in automated meeting request

[dGemini]

Dear ALL

I'm having a problem sending a meeting request from an Foxpro Application through Lotus Notes. I found some code that works just fine, but I simply cannot get the meeting request out to multiple addressees. On the net, I found that it is possible to do so by using an array and assigning the array to the "SENDTO"-property.

I must be doing something wrong, because it only gets send to the first one in the list.
But WHAT am I doing wrong ?

On the same subject... how do I enter multiple dates for a meeting request on non-adjecent days ?

loSession = CreateObject("notes.NotesSession")
lServer = loSession.GetEnvironmentString( "MailServer",.t.)
lMaildbName = loSession.GetEnvironmentString( "MailFile",.t.)
loMaildb = loSession.getdatabase(lServer, lMaildbName )

<snip>

dimension arecipient(3)
Arecipient(1)="FirstAddr"
Arecipient(2)="SecondAddr"
Arecipient(3)="ThirdAddr"

dimension aCCrecipient(2)
aCCrecipient(1) = "FirstCC"
aCCrecipient(2) = "SecondCC"

MailDoc.sendto = Arecipient
maildoc.Copyto = Accrecipient
MailDoc.altsendto = Arecipient
maildoc.altCopyto = Accrecipient
MailDoc.requiredAttendees = Arecipient
maildoc.optionalAttendees = Accrecipient
MailDoc.altrequiredAttendees = Arecipient
maildoc.altoptionalAttendees = Accrecipient

MailDoc.SAVEMESSAGEONSEND = .T.
MailDoc.SEND(.F.)


many, many thanks for all replies

Repeating meeting dates are produced in Notes by creating a document per date. You can only do multiple date list on dates that follow sequentially.

In Notes, you would do the following :

Dim sendlist as Notesitem
. . .
Set sendlist = New Notesitem(Maildoc,"SendTo","")
for iter=1 to 3
   call sendlist.appendtotextlist(Arecipient(iter))
next
. . .

The difference from the Notes version and your version is that stating MailDoc.sendto = Arecipient does not create a multi-value field on the document - which you have found out the hard way.

I don't know about FoxPro, but you should try to implement the Notes version I showed. I don't think you can work around this.

dear Pascal

Thanks for your reply, i'm sorry that I waited this long to thank you and answer to it...
I am convinced that this is the way to do it. I have however not yet found (and believe me, I 've tried) to find the corresponding way in Foxpro to do the 'Set sendlist = New Notesitem(Maildoc,"SendTo","")' command.

No helpfile has helped me on the way yet...

you - or anybody else out there - wouldn't be able to point me in some direction ?

Many thanks in advance

Well, I can't find anything about sending to the CC recipients, but this may work:

dimension arecipient(3)
Arecipient(1)="FirstAddr"
Arecipient(2)="SecondAddr"
Arecipient(3)="ThirdAddr"

dimension aCCrecipient(2)
aCCrecipient(1) = "FirstCC"
aCCrecipient(2) = "SecondCC"

maildoc.Copyto = Accrecipient
MailDoc.altsendto = Arecipient
maildoc.altCopyto = Accrecipient
MailDoc.requiredAttendees = Arecipient
maildoc.optionalAttendees = Accrecipient
MailDoc.altrequiredAttendees = Arecipient
maildoc.altoptionalAttendees = Accrecipient



Call maildoc.Send( False, arecipient)

Thanks Leslie, but I am very sorry to say it doesn't do the trick :'(

it only gets sent to the first addressee in the list.
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I am getting desperate... I can't find any help on the net to guide me.

Have any other ideas ?

sorry, Pascal is away probably until early next week. Maybe he can come up with something else to try.
