How would I connect to the Domino Object library, equivalent to VBA's Tools/References/Lotus Domino Objects?

From this:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lo...ls-COM_Access/

I would infer:
$notes=new-object -comobject Lotus.NotesSession

Now, $notes would be the object to work with.

I can confirm this works, not that I can figure out what to do with the
resulting object.

The next thing to do would be
$notes.initialize("password") #This would open a session

Next is define the path to your .nsf file and open that, then it gets more complicated. I'm working on it.

Let us know how it goes, I'm interested in your results if nobody else is.

I'm still struggling with it, and have got as far as:
$notes=new-object -comobject Lotus.NotesSession
$notes.Initialize("password")
$ssgtech=$notes.GetDatabase("server","ssgtech.nsf")
$ssgtech.open(??)

I'm stuck on how to get it to open the database.
$ssgtech.open gives me:
PS C:\Documents and Settings\Simon Lucas> $ssgtech.Open


MemberType : Method
OverloadDefinitions : {void Open ()}
TypeNameOfValue : System.Management.Automation.PSMethod
Value : void Open ()
Name : Open
IsInstance : True

but in my general state of ignorance, I don't know what the parameters should be to open the database.

I have found that the way to open the database should be:
$ssgtech=$notes.GetDatabase("server","ssgtech.nsf",1)
$mydoc=$ssgtech.GetDocumentByID(""S1003090")

I think!

Try calling open like this: "open()".

I tried it but it failed. Unfortunately my great idea in post 7 also failed. I tried
$ssgtech.isopen|write-host
which returned False.

PS C:\Documents and Settings\> $ssgtech.open()
Exception calling "Open" with "0" argument(s): "Database open failed (server!!ssgtech.nsf)"

+ $ssgtech.open( <<<< )
PS C:\Documents and Settings\> $mydoc=$ssgtech.GetDocumentByID("S1003090")
Exception calling "GetDocumentByID" with "1" argument(s): "Database server!!ssgtech.nsf has not been opened yet"
