How to start the default email program WITHOUT sending a message

T

Tony Ciconte

There is plenty of VBA code around that allows you send email
messages. Does anyone know where I can see a sample of VBA code or a
technique that only opens the default email program and then waits for
user input? For example, a VBA technique that simulates
double-clicking on an email desktop icon or opening something from a
program group. I am using Access 97 in a runtime environment.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Dim stAppName As String

stAppName = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

Docmd.SendObject without arguments should bring up the default email
program. However there are some limitations in using sendobject for
mail. See Tont Toews web site.
