VBA Hyperlink to Lotus Notes Database

  • Hi All,


    Just back from a wonderfull 3 weeks off work, and as usual when your not there it all hits the fan.


    I've got the following examples of code that allows me to hyperlink through VBA to a Lotus Notes Database.


    The problem is that when I run it attached to a Sub Menu command it crashes Excel. When I step through it from within the VBE all is OK ????? Slightly bewildered :(


    If anyone out there has any idea why it would be greatly appreciated.


    BTW WinXP, XL2002


    Thnx AJW



    Sub LotusNotes_ValveDocLib()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    On Error Resume Next
    AppActivate "Lotus Notes"
    If Not Err.Number = 0 Then
    Err.Clear
    MsgBox "Notes is Not Running", vbInformation, "WSM-Marketing"
    Else
    Application.ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="Notes://WARSYD1/4A256903007EE404/8525608C005E322585255D7C00545AF7", NewWindow:=True
    End If
    Exit Sub
    End Sub


    Sub LotusNotes_ISOGatePricing()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    On Error Resume Next
    AppActivate "Lotus Notes"
    If Not Err.Number = 0 Then
    Err.Clear
    MsgBox "Notes is Not Running", vbInformation, "WSM-Marketing"
    Else

    Sub LotusNotes_LeaveApplication()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    On Error Resume Next
    AppActivate "Lotus Notes"
    If Not Err.Number = 0 Then
    Err.Clear
    MsgBox "Notes is Not Running", vbInformation, "WSM-Marketing"
    Else
    Application.ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="Notes://WARSYD1/4A25659A000C4FC9/8525608C005E322585255D7C00545AF7/ED0979DCA79B73A4CA256E450082284B", NewWindow:=True
    End If
    Exit Sub
    End Sub

  • Found out the reason.


    Instead of:


    Application.ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink


    It should have been:


    Application.ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink
