Hi Tim,<br><br>Thanks for your comments.<br><br>I find out going through IBM web pages that the Lotus Notes works on win32com just for versin 7.0 and 8.0. The version that was intalled in my development environment is Lotus Notes 6.0.<br>
<br>This week I will get a Lotus Notes 7.0 Installed into my development pc. This should hopefully make it works.<br><br>Threader<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I'll ask the obvious question first. You're sure Lotus Notes is<br>
installed on this computer?<br>
<br>
The Google implication is that "Lotus.NotesSession" is the proper class<br>
name, so if Notes is installed, this should work.<br>
