wine users - Nov 2008 - Lotus Notes 6.5.1 (or 7.0.1) and Office connection via DDE

I use ubuntu 8.04 with wine 1.1.9.

I would like to get Office (2000 or 2003) and Lotus Notes (6.5.1 or
7.0.1) working together because of a Notes application with requires
Word acting as DDE server in order to generate documents.

After several tentatives with community packages I cannot get a working
Wine configuration. So I tried Bordeaux 1.4 that allowed me to install
Lotus and Office. I set up two configuration:
- - office2000 + Notes 6.5.1 which emulates Win98
- - office2003 + notes 7.0.1 which emulates Win2K

Each application seems to work singularly.

Win98 Env
- ---------
With Office 2000 (win98 env) Notes feeds Words via DDE. Passed data
substitute some fields in a Word template.
It seems that clipboard is involved in such data transfer and I received
an error message on that:
"Error Reading Metafile from Clipboard"
The process seems to proceed correctly but at the end, Word keeps the
file locked so Notes cannot print the doc.

I have found some regression issue about Notes but also with older wine
version I cannot solve the problem.

Win2K env:
- ---------
In this enviroment behavior is different.
When I try to access any Lotus application I receive the following error:
"Error loading USE or USELSX on module: *LSXODBC".
The error is different of previou. issue I submitted

It seems related to ODBC which are not available in wine office2003
environment. I tried to install MDAC 2.7 by applying this instruction
http://wiki.winehq.org/NativeOdbc without any result: I cannot find any
cliconf.exe.

Any suggestion?

Bordeaux is not supported here. You need to ask on their support forum.

Seriously, I have a similar problem on LN 6.5.5, i get several "Error
loading USE or USELSX on module: *LSXODBC" popups each time i open or close
any document of a particular database (on which i don't have administartion
privileges). This happens with every version of wine i ever tried and I thought
Bordeaux was just a kind of.. wine (to drink [Laughing]). I installed MDAC 2.81
but nothing changed. Apart from the message boxes, all works just fine, so
I'd be happy to get rid of such annoyance. Any clue?
Thanks

Great! In particular the WINEDLLOVERRIDES did the magic.

Thank you very much e sempre Forza Bologna!  [Wink]
