How to I access VBA or VB components ie COM and DLLs?
| Answer | VB programmers can access and program Lotus Notes/Domino because Lotus Notes is an OLE Automation server from a back office point of view. The Lotus Notes client is an OLE client ie it can receive OLE objects from other OLe server products. ie Excel would be an OLe server to a Lotus Notes client if the document had an Excel spreadhseet embeeded in a rich text field. Client programming from VB point fo view is done using the NotesUIWorkspace and Notes.Session OLE automation objects. Notes must be installed on the same machine as the Visual Basic program. |
