I have a VBA function that initializes a lotus notes session, creates a document

  • 0

I have a VBA function that initializes a lotus notes session, creates a document and mails it. It also accepts as an optional parameter a NotesRichTextItem which I append to the body of the email.

However, I am getting the error message “All objects must be from the same session”. How do I ‘import’ this NotesRichTextItem into my session?

Edit-Code added 

Sub SendLotusMail(SubjTxt As String, _
                BodyTxt As String, _
                EmailTo As String, _
                EmailCC As String, _
                AutoSend As Boolean, _
                Attach As String, _
                ReportTitle As String, _
                Optional AppendToBody As NotesRichTextItem = Null)
On Error GoTo EH
    NtSession.Initialize
    OpenMailDb ReportTitle
    Set NtDoc = Ntdb.CreateDocument

    NtDoc.AppendItemValue "Form", "Memo"
    NtDoc.AppendItemValue "SendTo", EmailTo
    NtDoc.AppendItemValue "CopyTo", EmailCC
    NtDoc.AppendItemValue "Subject", SubjTxt
    Set NtBodyRT = NtDoc.CreateRichTextItem("Body")
    NtDoc.AppendItemValue "Body", NtBodyRT
    If Attach <> "" Then NtBodyRT.EmbedObject EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", Attach, "Attachment"
    NtBodyRT.AppendText BodyTxt

    'This next line throws the error "All objects must be from the same session"
    NtBodyRT.AppendRTItem AppendToBody

Edit-Solution found
I don’t like it very much, but I got around all these issues by passing the RichTextItem object, it’s parent NotesDocument, and it’s parent’s parent NotesSession to this function. So, now I’m calling this procedure with 3 optional objects instead of 1. Hooray.

Edit-New Solution found
Well, the previous solution was causing me problems, so until I find (or someone suggests) a workaround, I’ll just use some custom email procedures for the reports that require it. It does duplicate some code, but not significantly.

    (I’m writing this to close out my question)
    I’ve gotten around this issue by just having separate email procs for the reports that require custom setups. Yes, there is some duplication of code, but it’s far better than the behemoth I was about to make.
