Hey, something new. Neat. Nothing in the help, btw. I'm using O2K, which
I should have mentioned, so that may be why there's nothing for this.
Perhaps it's O2003, etc., where something comes up in help under "command
line".
I went to the archives and found reference to this type of code:
""C:\Office2000\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c IPM.Task"
Thinking it was similar to what I do to pull up docts, I just plugged it
into a new button in the hyperlink part but when clicked I got the message:
"Outlook cannot launch an application to handle:
""C:\Office2000\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c IPM.Task". The URL may be incorrect,
or you may need to install an application to handle this type of URL." The
path to the EXE is the one for this computer, so that part is okay.
My goal is to get rid of all the references in my toolbar needing actual
templates. I carry around a batch of them and each new contract have to
plug them into the templates folder. Yesterday, I got rid of them all, but
one, with the mailto coding. Totall awesome. So I'm determined to get rid
of everything so that the issue of O2K templates is one less thing to worry
about at each new contract.
Can you advise if it's just a version thing or if the error message is true?
Also, if I cannot populate any of the major fields (I don't even need
date/time, just some simple text in subject and part of body), then I'm no
further ahead than the new TASK button I already have on my toolbar. It's
making a button on the bar that would open up the task and populate subject
and part of body fields for me _without_ the use of a template that is my
goal.
Thanks!
