How do you send meeting notices with Lotus Script withoug using the UI? I followed the advice of one posting to create a local copy of the mail file and create a meeting. Insure when I create an Appointment document in Lotus Script that create all of the same fields. I did this and it creates a calendar entry but does’t send out meeting notices.
Has anyone had any succes doing this?
If not what is the trigger for processing meeting notices? Iris can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks for any help I would appreciate it.

I just finished a 24 man-month project (costing many $100K) to do what you want, so don’t expect IRIS or anyone else to give you too much for nothing in this forum 
However, it’s do-able so don’t give up hope!

I tried copying all of the mail file libraries and the Attendance Form into my application. The idea being that all of the fields would be set and prepared as Notes wants them. Then I tried copying all of the items into a new document in the mail file. Same result it created a file in the Calendar but didn’t send any Invitations. This just can’t be that difficult.

I took another approach and have it working great. The key is there are 2 forms that you have to work with along with some key field values that must be generated.

There is one HECK of a lot of code in the standard Mail Template that handles meetings. (I’ve looked through it … it’s not pretty.)
This is not documented anywhere as far as I know, so we are on our own if we want to take advantage of what has been put together. But as noted, this is not easy, quick, or cheap. To add to the complexity, anything we do might break with the next release of Notes, when the Mail template is changed.
So before you go too far down this road, consider if the high cost of doing this is worth wild.
