I am trying to open Lotus Notes 6.5 on my Windows 2000 machine but have hit a small road block. When I call the code to open Notes all I get is a quick flash of the "Lotus Notes Splash Screen" and then nothing happens. If I use a shorcut on my desktop it opens fine and gives me the password prompt???? Please advise on how to proceed so this will open properly. The code I've used follows: (both attempts)

Dim iret As Long
iret = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, _
vbNullString, _
"C:\Lotus\Notes\notes.exe", _
vbNullString, _
"C:\", _
SW_SHOWNORMAL)

AND I'VE TRIED THIS
NotesDBRun = Shell("C:\Lotus\Notes\Notes.exe", 1)
