Creating an email in notes with dde

hcl-bot · February 28, 2005, 9:37am

I would like to send a dde command (from FileMaker) to Lotus Notes to automatically create an email , then fill in the address, cc, subject, body etc…

Can some point me in the right direction to achieve this task.

Cheers

Andy

AFAIK Notes is only a DDE client, not a server.

You should find another way to automate this (either using OLE, COM, …), since DDE is not going to work.

cheers,

Yo might be better off using the MAPI interface if FileMaker allows you to use that.

(Assuming you are doing all this on Windows)

Thanks for the response Bradley. Unfortunately FileMaker only has a DDE execute command as part of it’s scripting language.
