I use the COM object to access the contacts of Lotus Notes (to read and write them), programming lanugae is VB6.This has working since Notes 5.0.2 (on Win XP and Vista)
Now I installed Windows 7 64bit and Notes 8.0.2.
Problem:
When the Notes client is running I can no longer open the contact database:
either the method open (of the contacts data base) fails with error
-2147217461, “Database open failed (names.nsf)”
or notes crashes.
Here part of my code
Set myLNApp = GetObject(, “Lotus.NotesSession”)
If myLNApp Is Nothing Then Set myLNApp = CreateObject(“Lotus.NotesSession”)
Set AdrBook = myLNApp.AddressBooks(0)
AdrBook.open 'this returns error or crashes
Any idea how to solve this?
Is this problem of Notes 8.0.2 or windows 7 or 64 OS?
Does hotfix 1, 2 or 3 help here?
Thank you,
Chris
