VB module to send mail in Lotus Notes

[BarbaraRyan]

I have a VB module (in an Access 97 database) that uses Lotus Notes to send mail. It has worked fine at several client sites, but is encountering problems at a new site. The error received is "429: ActiveX component can't create object". It apparently is erroring on the statement "Set Session = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession&quot". (see all code below)

The only difference (that I am aware of) is that this client uses Lotus Notes 5.0 10 and the Lotus Notes client is installed on the "D:\" drive of a partitioned hard drive.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,
Barb Ryan
