Help a VB-programmer with iNotes

I’m a VB programmer and I want to open the To Do List in iNotes based on a specific category.

If I use the following in VB:

Call Shell(“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore http://domino/mail/cwalters.nsf/iNotes/ToDo/?OpenDocument”, vbNormalFocus)

and execute it from an action button it works fine.

What i’m looking for is to also include the category some thing like:

http://domino/mail/cwalters.nsf/iNotes/ToDo/?OpenDocument&Categories=“MySpecificCategory”

is something like this possible ??

Yeah, it’s almost identical in LS:

%INCLUDE “lsconst.lss”

Sub Initialize

    MySpecificCategory = "Fun Stuff"

x=Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore  http://domino/mail/cwalters.nsf/iNotes/ToDo/?OpenDocument&Categories=" & MySpecificCategory, SHELL_NORMAL_FOCUS)

End Sub

Hi Mika,

Thanks for your response.

I think I wasn’t clear enough.

I didn’t mean “is this possible in LS”, I meant “is this possible using VB in a Visual Basic program”.

It seams that iNotes doesn’t accept my

“&Categories=” part of the statement.

Does the whole command line work when you do it from DOS?The question is that if your iNotes is capable of understanding the &Categories syntax, or is it a problem with the string you pass to the VB Shell command.
