New to lotus...could not open ID file

URGENT!!!I am a first time user of Lotus Notes, so sorry if i asked a simple, silly question…

I am running Lotus Notes R6 client only (no Domino Server installed) on Win2K. I need to add an appointment to the Notes and I am trying to initialize a Notes Session object in ASP using VBScript, and here’s my code…

dim s

Set s =Server.CreateObject(“Lotus.NotesSession”)

Call s.Initialize()

Set db = s.GetDatabase(“”, **path to my dbfile)

the code give me an error of “could not open the ID file”, regardless of passing in the passwod parameter or not.

I have registered nlsxbe.dll file. i checked the path in notes.ini under KeyFileName, it won’t work either i hv the full path or just the value “user.id”

the code will only work if i use initializeUsingNotesUserName() without passing in any user name and password info (i.e. sign in as anonymous user), otherwise an error of “invalid username/password”

I believe it’s a security issue, but I can’t figure out the problem.

what is the problem???

Not sure but check to see if your notes.ini is your NT path variable.

thanks for the response!!

this is what’s in the notes.ini:

KeyFileName=C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data\user.id

i noticed a strange thing that even if i changed the KeyFile Name to the above path, it will changed back to KeyFileName=user.id whenever i start up the Lotus Notes Client.

by the way, i’m trying to create an appointment from ASP using VBScript.

any other suggestions?
