Hello!
We have a Visual Basic application that creates new documents in a Notes database (R5) throught the COM classes.
I’ve heard that Notes 6 can’t be used as a COM server.
My question is:
Can I upgrade from R5 to R6 and still use my application in this version?
Thanks in advance

Notes and Domino 6 provides the same level of COM support as R5 did, so you can use your existing apps just fine. The confusion might stem from the fact that the new backend classes in R6 are not yet exposed via COM, they can currently only being access thru OLE automation. COM support for the new classes (like NotesAdministrationProcess or NotesXMLProcessor, etc) will be added at some later point.Also, in R6 you might need to manually re-register the existing COM support via “regsvr32 nlsxbe.dll”

Subject: COM Support in 6.5.5 - any different to 6.5.2 ?
Our technical guys have upgraded our Notes client from 6.5.2 to 6.5.5. While this works OK on its own the mail interface from our business applications which is implemented using COM, nlsxbe.dll etc… etc… is now broken.
Trying to send an e-mail from the business application now crashes BOTH Notes and the business application.
Any known issues, or more importantly fixes for this ?
many thanks
