VB And Lotus Domino

[ZOR]

I am doing a VB6 project for someone, spent many weeks doing it. But now the person wants my application to send an email/attachment. I don't have Domino on my PC and dont want to spend £400+ on software I really don't want. Any way round this? If I had some code that would work on users machine I would be very happy. Any ideas, thanks

Well... for one thing you could download a full working trial from IBM that would run for 90 days at no cost...

Another Option...

Just format a MIME message and bounce it off the SMTP port of the server. Even if he has SMTP relaying off, you two could work out a foreign Domain that he could accept and relay for...

For that matter... you could use IMAP...


Also from IBM...

You will have to dig around for it at

http://www.notes.net...

but there is a command line client that you can download for free that will allow you to format whatever into the message and it will send it along...


Finally...

He could give you the Notes client... you could get the redbook iNotes for Outlook from ibm for free at

http://redbooks.ibm.com

and you could use a Lotus Notes account via Outlook and send that way.


Lots of options there.

Oh... and another... you could download the C++ API from IBM for free and just directly connect and send that way...


Or, if you have the client installed on your machine... the COM objects become visible to VB...

Many thanks for the reply. I will look at all your suggestions and try going down those roads. I will check if they have Outlook installed, and will do a search on MIME and IMAP, as have no experience in those areas. All the best.
