Make e-mail window open without DOS window

L

Larry

This code opens an e-mail window, but before the e-mail window opens, a
DOS window opens and then goes away. Is there any way to have the
e-mail window open without having the DOS window open at all?

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("start mailto:", vbNormalNoFocus)

Thanks,
Larry

I got it. It's like this. The DOS window still opens during the
process, but it remains in the background. You can only tell that it's
opening because its icon becomes visible on the Taskbar.

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("start mailto:")
