Overview
Programmatically acquire e-mails from outside IBM Lotus Notes.
Description
Through the use of ActiveX, this VI can retrieve the bodies of all emails within your Lotus Notes client from a particular sender. This was not possible by direct communication with the database file due to the custom format used by IBM. You can flick through the retrieved emails by simply using the array increment/decrement element buttons. It's not the nicest looking UI, but it's a good starting point for anyone wishing to retrieve data from Lotus Notes documents.
The VI has some code within it to locate the Lotus Notes .nsf database file which should be present on your computer when LN is installed, so all you need to do is enter your login password and the program will be able to access it. (Please view the source code first if you are uncomfortable entering your password into an unknown program
N.B.
If you wish to develop further Lotus Notes applications using ActiveX, there is some documentation on the IBM website for the Java API's which often correlates, at least in function name, to some of the ActiveX calls.
