Question

My client is using Lotus Notes 8.0.2.
I am trying to use the following VBScript to call the Notes API to send an email:

dim objNotesSession, objNotesDatabase, objNotesItem, objNotesRichTextItem

set objNotesSession = CreateObject("Lotus.NotesSession")
Call objNotesSession.Initialize("[password here]")
set objNotesDatabase = objNotesSession.GETDATABASE("[server here]", "[path to NSF here]")
set objNotesDocument = objNotesDatabase.CreateDocument
set objNotesItem = objNotesDocument.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Memo")
set objNotesItem = objNotesDocument.ReplaceItemValue("Subject", "My Test Subject")
set objNotesRichTextItem = objNotesDocument.CreateRichTextItem("Body")
objNotesRichTextItem.AppendText "This is the body"
objNotesRichTextItem.EmbedObject 1454, "", "[path to attachment here]"
objNotesDocument.Send False, "[to address here]"

[cleanup code here]

on the line Call objNotesSession.Initialize I get the following error: “Error in loading DLL: Initialize”

If I comment out that line, executing line “set objNotesDatabase = objNotesSession.GETDATABASE”, then I get the error “Error in loading DLL: GETDATABASE”

Please can someone tell me why this is happening, and what I can do to resolve it?

Thanks,
Shawn.

Yup, turns out there was a Notes patch applied to the dev environment (where all was working) that was not applied to the live environment.
