MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / October 2007Setting Lotus Notes as Mail Service
Does anyone know what I have to do to be able to use Lotus Notes as my Mail Service for mail merging? I think you're more likely to find an answer to this in a Lotus support group. You would certainly need to make the Notes Client the default e-mail client on your system and ensure that any MAPI support was enabled. However, when I last tried (several years ago now) I was unable to set up Word to merge more than one record at a time without human intervention (I think it was to save the generated Notes e-mails). Also, you are unlikely to see any output at all if you are merging to HTML format.

I did have a heck of a time getting it to work, but I finally had it so I could merge directly to Lotus Notes, but this was in Office 2000. When I "upgraded" to 2003, the whole thing stopped working. The mail merge interface wizard is gone in 2003, and I have even less control than 2000 offered. I cannot configure the MAPI service like I could in 2000. Now, even if I try to run Outlook I get an error: "set of folders could not be opened..." and I can't even set up a new .pst mailbox folder. This is extremely frustrating. I wish Microsoft had a little more concern for compatibility when they do upgrades. > I think you're more likely to find an answer to this in a Lotus support > group.

Can you remember anything about how you did MAPI configuration for Office 2000 + Notes? A problem with MAPI is that there can only be one MAPI.dll and MAPI32.dll, and when you install anything that provides its own MAPI dll, things can get confusing. I don't know a /good/ place to start to investigate this stuff, but http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms528324.aspx may provide some background info. ("MAPI Stub library" is probably the thing to search for). SignaturePeter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk > Thanks Peter, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> > Service for mail merging?
