COM and getdatabase crashing with NSD

When attempting to get the address book via COM (vba in excel), notes and the excel crash.

Dim domSession As New NotesSession

domSession.Initialize

Set addressDb = domSession.GetDatabase (“myServer”, “names.nsf”)

Has anyone else seen this problem? It appears to have been introduced with 6.0.2 cf1 as the code as run find since the early versions of Notes 5.

While the com interface was properly registered on a previous version (manually done), it appears to have become ‘un-registered’ on one of the incremental installers. Thus once registered again, the problem disappeared.

It’s very frustrating to have to constantly waste time readdressing this as the problem has been ongoing for some time!

regsvr32 “c:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\nlsxbe.dll”

In case it helps anybody else…

We encountered exactly the same issue when upgrading to 6.5. We solved it as described by Matt (re-registered that dll).

Hello,I have the same problem with lotus Notes 6.0.3 and 6.5.0.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with a macro that

creates a document in a Notes database.

This macro is running well in Notes 5.0.x

and it crashes EXCEL and Lotus when I try it with Notes 6.0.3 or 6.5.0.

I checked the nlsxbe.dll in the windows 98 register and the library appears to be declared.

I made the same test with a notes client running on a Windows NT workstation and I had the same punishment.

Any Idea of what I should do to solve the problem ?

I run similar code on 6.02CF1 and 6.02CF2 without any problems.

This code has run on 6.0 , 6.01 and 6.02 without any problems.
