Hi Andy Your situation illustrates why we never user Outlook - in all its varieties. If all you do is "construct, address and send emails" (no appointments, calendar etc.), all you need is to have an SMTP server at your service, and you can use a generic approach independent of Notes, Exhange or other proprietary mail server. Windows offers the component CDO for this purpose. If a copy of the outgoing mails are needed for the user, just add the user's account as blind copy. If you need to look up addresses in the client's mail system, most systems offer an LDAP interface. /gustav >>> andy at minstersystems.co.uk 23-10-2007 11:55 >>> Morning campers Please no "watcha want to use Lotus Notes for" answers. Not my choice. So the thing is my mega-app uses the Outlook object model a lot to construct, address and send emails, with or without attachments. I also read from incoming emails too, but that's a lesser concern. What I need to find out is how I'd do the same if we go from Outlook/Exchange to Notes/Domino. Do any of you heroes have any experience interfacing to Notes with VBA, or have any good ideas where to look? I've found a couple of links and it looks like it can be done but some help and guidance would be great. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk
