MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / April 2005E-mail Merge with Lotus Notes
I don't seem to be able to merge to e-mail. We use Lotus Notes (uggh). Everything is set up as it should be. Can anyone please suggest a fix? I only looked at this briefly a couple of years ago (I'm not a Notes expert), but the impression I had is that a. Notes will not work with Mailmerge b. there are third-party commercial solutions out there c. you /might/ be able to build a solution using VBA and the approaches described in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm (for the mailing part) http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm (for the mailmerge part) Peter Jamieson >I don't seem to be able to merge to e-mail.

That's fine for getting data from Lotus Notes. But maybe you know more about sending the emails resulting from a merge via Lotus Notes?

I've had mixed results with that. You need to have Lotus setup for MAPI (I forget how to do that - there's a reg key for it). When you then do the email merge thing in Word it *will* create the emails - but as separate windows in Lotus, meaning you have to click send manually for each one. Also, you can only merge text in the email (I tried graphics, and both HTML and plain text), unless you chose attachment. I'm using Word 2002 and Notes 6.5.4.

Sorry - HTML won't work (nothing happens), only plain text or attachment. Is it possible there's some setting in Notes that will get this to work? Or is whatever command (SendMail?) just not working right? Mike > I've had mixed results with that. You need to have Lotus setup for MAPI (I > forget how to do that - there's a reg key for it).

Thanks for the nfo. on the reg key - I've never come across that one before so if you do manage to dig out details it would be useful to know them. As fr as I know, the problem with sending HTML is that it relies on a specific MAPI interface and not every MAPI provider supports it - in fact, as far as I know, it is only provided if you are using Outlook. > Sorry - HTML won't work (nothing happens), only plain text or attachment. > [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] >> > >> > >> > >> > Can anyone please suggest a fix? Here's the MAPI fix: - Search for win.ini and open in a text editor - Make sure both lines are under the [Mail] Section MAPI=1 MAPIX=1 Mike > Thanks for the nfo. on the reg key - I've never come across that one before > so if you do manage to dig out details it would be useful to know them.
