First, where the heck can I find this Lotus Notes COM toolkit. I have found tons of directions on where it should be, but its not there. The closest I can find is the sametime COM toolkit, which isnt what I want. Please please tell me where it is!
Next I have found on my computer I have the lotus notes automation class. Does this have the same functionality as the COM toolkit? Why can’t I find any examples of people using this? Please Help!!

I looked in the downloads area. It’s not there, and that’s a little odd. But, look here:
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/today.nsf/lookup/COM_Access
Also look in Designer help under COM.
Also check sandbox.nsf as there might be some samples there.

I have checked that page it pretty much points me to the same download page. I can’t believe this is so hard to find.

No, the Notes Automation Classes are not the same as the COM interface. Once nlsxbe.dll has been registered, you should find “Lotus Domino Objects” as an available reference.
Take a look at these two Redbooks:

(COM Together - with Domino)
and
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246854.html?Open
(Domino Designer 6: A Developers’ Handbook)
COM Together is fairly comprehensive, but it is biased towards C/C++ programming.

And recall that in 6.0.1 the COM interface was not properly registered. This was a bug in the installer IIRC and was fixed in a later point release. Search this forum for nlsxbe.dll if you need more background.
