I need some help since I do not know where to start. Ideally, I would like to have a button that can convert my Lotus Notes document to a PDF file, then it will open up a new email then take the email address in that document to the "To" filed. At this point we use CutePDF writer to create the PDF file. I break down the process like the one below:
Print a document
User choose CutePDFwriter
Save the pdf file
Compose a new email with the email address that is on the Notes document placed on the 'To' field
Can anyone help me starting on this?
If you're happy to let the user select cutepdf as the printer, you should be able to get away with using #Commands in a button from the either the document or a view containing the documents (Check the notes designer help).
The only issue I can see is that the user will be able to change the path that cutepdf prints to, so you will have to make the user find the attachment again (but you will be able to automate the attachment dialog coming up).
Got my answer from Domino Designer help file. Use the code below to open up mail file
Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim item As NotesItem
Set doc = uidoc.Document
Set item = doc.GetFirstItem("QSContactEMail")
Set uidoc = workspace.ComposeDocument _
(mailserver$, mailfile$, "Memo")
Call uidoc.FieldAppendText("EnterSendTo", "Test")
For the printing I just call the print function and let the user choose CutePDF writer

I wonder if it is possible to generate a list of email users and their owners to a text file? I'm a beginner in Lotus script ... can there be any database in domino administrator where can i find such data? Screen
you can use the NotesDBDirectory class to loop through all dbs on server. If the database resides in subfolder mail, you can get the database using the notes database class. Normally the title of the database is the owners Name. But you can also get the calendar Profile document and read the field owner.
Another approach: take a look in names.nsf. you can Export data as CSV-file ...
Greetz, Markus
Code example:
Dim sess as new Notessession
Dim dbdir as NotesDBDirectory
Dim db as NotesDatabase
Dim Profile As NotesDocument
Set dbdir = New NotesDBDirectory("Servername")
Set db = dbdir.GetFirstDatabase(1247)
Do until db is nothing
'expecting the mail files are located in subfolder mail, check the path
If Ucase(Left(db.FilePath , 5)) = "MAIL\" Then
If not db.IsOpen Then
Call db.Open("","")
End If
Set Profile = db.GetProfileDocument("CalendarProfile")
Print Profile.Owner(0) ' prints out the owner name to Client Status bar or Server console
End If
Set db = dbdir.GetNextDatabase
Loop
The line
Print Profile.Owner(0) ' prints out the owner name to Client
must be modified to match your needs. You can use the Lotus script write Statement.

HTH, Markus
I'd iterate through the user documents in the server's names.nsf. Look at each user to see if they have an email database listed and, if so, output them to a text file.
in this document, I use reader field to set who can read this document but as first my program is fault that wrong people set in this field and nobody can read this document. I write a code to see all document and that hidden document not show any item.
Set db=session.currentdatabase
Set dc=db.alldocuments
Dim i_count As Integer
For i_count = 1 To dc.Count
Set doccoll = dc.GetNthDocument(i_count)
Next
This is the result
enter image description here
How can I change reader field?
You can enable "Full Access Administration" on administrator client to see all documents in that server.
I am trying to send email from Lotus Script. But the email doesn't seem to have the FORM ( named Email Form , referred below in the code ) attached to it, when received in the inbox.
When I check the Document property in the email, it says the form is "Memo" and the FROM, TO addresses are Blank.
I have defined the FROM, TO,SUBJECT,BODY fields in the Email Form in a specific format .
But all these field values are populated correctly in the form. Issue happens only after send .
The Same code works fine in some other Lotus Notes, when the email is triggered by another person, having a different Notes ID configured in that system .
Not sure if this is code issue, or Lotus Notes configuration issue .
Any help to solve this would be greatly appreciated . The for has the property " Store Form in Doc" set and even ComputeWithForm returns success .
Could this be a problem with my Lotus notes settings/configuration? .Same code sends email in correct format in some other system configured wit their Notes ID
Here is a sample code on the EMAIL Action button
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Set email = db.CreateDocument
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Email Form")
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", " My TestEmail")
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("From", nom.Canonical)
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("SendTo", nom.Canonical)
Call email.ReplaceItemValue("Body", " Hello, my test email ")
Call email.Send(True,nom.Common)
End Sub
It seems you mixed syntax here, you both set SendTo and specify nom.common, only one should be done. As in the help you should use:
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set doc = New NotesDocument( db )
doc.Form = "Email Form"
doc.SendTo = "Elissa Minty"
doc.Subject = "Here's the document you wanted"
Call doc.Send( true ) 'true here means you the form is stored and sent along with the document.
Now, check that you "Allow use of stored forms in this database." in your DB, could it be that this code exists in differents DBs and one doesn't have "Email Form" ? BTW check is it really "Email Form" and not "Email" ?
You may need also to check the local configuration on the client. To do this refer to Help.
Its not that complicated to send mails usually, with docs from a Mail Enabled database. But now you have added a more complicated solution, than necessary, you may want to review your solution, to save yourself of future problems.
You won't even need to LotusScript this, provided the Mail fields (SendTo as minimum) is there on the document.
See here how:
Designer 8.5.3 Help - Setting up automatic mailing
I have a database and also doc links, I am trying to access those doc link through web. I have found the method appendDocLink in the help. Looked through all the NotesRichTextItem, Document and NotesDocument properties and methods, but there's nothing to check dead link.
What I am trying to do is get all the doclinks in lotus script, and then check to see if they lead to an existing doc or if its a dead link. If yes then will send a mail to the admin about the dead link. All these things I want to happen using a schedule agent.
You need to traverse the NotesRichTextItem using NotesRichTextNavigator and find the elements of type NotesRichTextDocLink.
Dim rti As NotesRichTextItem
Dim rtnav As NotesRichTextNavigator
Dim rtlink As NotesRichTextDocLink
Set rti = doc.GetFirstItem("Body")
Set rtnav = rti.CreateNavigator
If Not rtnav.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_DOCLINK) Then
Messagebox "No doclinks in Body item",, "No doclinks"
Exit Sub
End If
Do
Set rtlink = rtnav.GetElement
'Use rtlink.DocUNID to get document UNID and try to fetch the document
Loop While rtnav.FindNextElement
I am not sure whether creating new NotesDocument object from rtlink.DocUNID would result in error or NOTHING (in case document with that UNID is not present). You will have to check that yourself.
The above code snippet has been taken from here and modified for this answer.
Is it possible to automate lotus notes to post a local file to a database? I have a daily task to post a logfile to a notes database. I can gather the logfile via script but don't know enough about notes scripting to figure this out.
I know thrre is a com interface as long as I have the client on the PC, but I can't figure out how to get a file uploaded to a dataase. I can use either vbscript or (preferred) powershell
If you search around the net you'll find examples of using VBScript to manipulate Lotus Notes. Here's one example: http://haveworld.blogspot.com/2006/10/vbscript-and-lotus-notes.html
You'll need to know a little about Lotus Notes to make this work, though. Start small and see if you can even get the Notes Version to appear:
Set oNotesSession = CreateObject("Notes.Notessession") 'create notes session
Msgbox oNotesSession.NotesVersion
If that works, you know you're in good shape. If not, make sure you've installed Lotus Notes correctly and configured it on the client.
The code to post a local file to a database involves connecting to Notes, creating a new Notes Document, adding a file object into the body of the document, and then saving it. You can use any kind of Notes Database to do this, but I'd suggest creating a new one based on the Document Library template, and using that to store your files.
Here is some code that will create a new Notes document, set the subject field, attach a file, and then save the document. This assumes there's a local Notes database already available called "FileStorage.nsf"
strFileName = "C:\Windows\Media\tada.wav"
strSubject = "Your Subject Goes Here"
Set oNotesSession = CreateObject("Notes.Notessession") 'create notes session
Set oDb = oNotesSession.GetDatabase("", "FileStorage.nsf") 'open database on local named FileStorage.nsf
Set oDoc = oDb.CreateDocument
' Filling the fields
oDoc.Subject = strSubject
Set oBody = oDoc.CreateRichTextItem("Body")
oBody.EmbedObject 1454, "", strFileName '1454 = Embedded Attachment type
oDoc.Save False, False
