hey dude

you have forgotten to run the agent. unless you run the agent it wont produce any o/p.

so add the line

call agent.run()

that’s it the agent is done.

Also, look for runonserver() method of Agent class.

OK… made change (see below) but am getting “object variable not set”. I cannot see what is missing? Here is updated script…

Dim session4 As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Dim agent As NotesAgent

Set db = session4.CurrentDatabase

Set agent = db.GetAgent(“(test)”)

Call agent.run()

Thanks all…

You didn’t tell us where it failed. You don’t have any error handling. Those would help you a lot. Anyway, the likely problem I see is that it probably is not finding the agent (educated guess). Depending on the type of agent, you don’t actually need parentis actually in the agent name as they get added. First I would recommend some error handling on each SET statement, e.g. If agent is nothing then …

Second, I would recommend adding an ON ERROR statement after the DIM statements to log ERR, ERL, and ERROR with PRINT and/or MSGBOX statements.

Thanks Doug… will add some error handling. Are you saying that the () are not required around an “agent list” agent? I know it adds them when you choose agent list… just assumed that this was the name.
