OE Command Line options

[curler]

I'm creating a Visual FoxPro 7 application requiring a "ShellExecute"
for MSWord, Windows Explorer and Outlook Express. I've been very
successful with all three with ShellExecute, however, ShellExecute
carries on with further processing and I had to switch to a 3 way
resolution using "CreateProcess" + "WaitForSingleObject" +
"CloseHandle" in order to handle each shell command in sequence. The
CreateProcess works real well for MSWord and Explorer but not for
Outlook Express. I can't seem to find a list of acceptable
options/parameters anywhere that CreateProcess will accept. The ones I
used in ShellExecute work fine in ShellExecute. Outlook Express does
start, but it doesn't open a new email. Can anyone point me in the
right direction?

Hi -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
