Get active instance of notes

Hi,

Can I know how to get the active instance of a running Lotus Notes Client ?

I am working on a com, and if I use Session.Initialise(null), each time the session instantiate, the password dialog box will prompt. I can’t hardcode the password either, as this is not an option.

I am looking for a way to use GetActiveObject(“Notes.NotesSession”) to tap to the active Notes Client, but to no avail.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Subject: I use Domino.Notessession and avoid the password prompt like this

'Use COM to get the current user's mail server and filename details

'   looks in the notes.ini which was set by the settings from the current/last used location document

        Dim ns As New Domino.NotesSession

        'If Notes is not running, the next line will prompt for a password. 

        '   If Notes is running and a password is prompted, ensure you set:

        '    File - Security - User Security - Security Basics and 

        '    select "Don't prompt for a password from other Notes-based programs"

        ns.Initialize()

Hi, thanks for your reply.

If changes to notes client setting is not allow ?

The notes client will always running when the com object is activated. Is the a way to tap to the active and running notes client using domobj without password ?

Thanks.
