current user internet (SMTP) e-mail. This address is specified in confuguration

parameters. I use C API for Lotus.

but I can’t find any suatable method to find it.

Use OSGetEnvironmentString to get the “Location” setting. This is a comma-separated list. The second element is the note ID of the Location document, in hex. NSFDbOpen the local names.nsf, NSFNoteOpen the document, and NSFItemGetText the ImailAddress item. This is the address that the user is currently using for SMTP mail. The user might have other addresses in other places, or no address anywhere.

Hi Rob!

Thanks a lot for your response.

I would like to know your opinion about the

following task: Is it possible to display

the standart Lotus dialog for choosing

recipints e-mails using C API or some another

API from Win32 application?

Who is Rob? I hope he will not mind if I answer. The C API has (almost) no connection with the user interface. You can use OLE to work with Notes’ user interface from another application. I am not sure how you can get the address dialog, but you might find a way to do it.
