Rule problem - Start Application

[Scott Kelley]

Outlook 2003

Trying to build a rule that will run an application. Problem I have is that
I need to include command line parameters, and the rule-builder will not let
me add those parameters to the name of the .exe file. Any thoughts on how
to do this?

Thanks,
Scott Kelley

How about a rule that calls a macro and said macro launches your app w/ the
required command line parameters?

I thought about that, but it is a very cumbersome way to do things. It
seems to me that I have seen something about executing a file with command
line parameters.

The only other thing that I am aware of is
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;173915&sd=RMVP and
it is something that was predesigned to pass the message id.
