Hello,
I was trying to use some command line switches when starting Outlook to
create a new message and I received an error when combining a few switches.
This worked in opening a new message with an attachment:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.Exe" /c IPM.Note /a
"Foo.Pdf" /NoPollMail
This worked in opening a new mail message with the TO name filled in:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.Exe" /c IPM.Note /m
(e-mail address removed) /NoPollMail
However, when I tried to combine the /a and /m, I received an error about
Command Line Argument is not Valid.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.Exe" /c IPM.Note /m
(e-mail address removed) /a "Foo.PDF" /NoPollMail
I looked at the help and I think these two are permitted, but it does not
work. I tried switching the order of the switches and removing the
NoPollMail, but nothing worked. Any ideas?
Also, is there a way to get a default subject put in as well as some default
text in the message, or do I have to go to scripting for that to happen?
Thanks for help.
