Code To Determine if Lotus Notes App Is Open . .

[Evagrius]

Hello,

I have searched high and low for the answer to this with no luck. Before sending an email from excel through Lotus Notes, I would like to ensure Lotus Notes is open. If not open, I would like to leave it closed, but simeply tell the user they must open and log in to their Lotus Notes account. I would be very thankfull for any help.

If it has a com interface, you can probably do something like getobject("lotusnotes.application")

hi Evagrius,

I would lead you to Xl-Denis's code directly but some of the links to his site don't seem to work (see http://www.rondebruin.nl/mail/links.htm).
Have a look at this code: http://www.ureader.com/msg/104239641.aspx

Thanks for the tip fellas. I am not experienced enough with this level of programming to alter the codes in the links. The issue I face is I must check if Lotus Notes is open before the lines in the below code. Once the lines below run, they activate a session of Lotus Notes but don't allow the user to Log in - so the user has to close the session and re-initialize another session. Thank you for any help . .

hi,

I don't have Lotus Notes any more so I can't test it, but doesn't the following code (from my previous link) test if Notes is open?

Although I don't have Notes I may be able to spot something in your code, so can you please show us all of your code rather than just a two line snippet?

On second thoughts & after a bit of digging in my old files I found the below code which I have never tested...
