Your question is not clear as to how you are automating this process. Are you using VBA to create the report in MS Access? How about to launch Lotus Notes and attach the report? Assuming that you are using VBA, then should have no trouble using the Send method in LotusScript. Here is an example from the Lotus Notes Developer Help.


 
 Dim session As New NotesSession
 Dim db As NotesDatabase
 Dim doc As NotesDocument
 Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
 Set doc = New NotesDocument( db )
 doc.Form = "Memo"
 doc.SendTo = "Elissa Minty"
 doc.Subject = "Here's the document you wanted"
 Call doc.Send( False )


If you still have questions, post the code that you are using to add the report.


Hope this helps

Sounds like someone has “kluged” together a mixture of methods to create an email in the background and then open in the UI. They may even be using a COMPOSE function to open the message and targeting the fields to populate. Why even use the client? Just send a CDO thru your SMTP server. Is there a reason it is being passed to Notes?
