You are asking the wrong person - I posted that I am not a programmer, nor
am I a wizard with command line switches to send items.

| Well,
|
| I tried tweaking the qoutes areound a bit and got the shortcut wizard
| to accept the path below.
|
|
| "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c
| IPM.Note.AutoEmailSenderForm /a Outlook:\Personal
| Folders\AutoEmailSenderForm"
|
| Now, When I click on the shortuct I get the following message:
|
| The command line in the argument is not valid. Verify the switch you
| are using.
|
|
|
| I went out to office online and looked up the command line switches.
| I'm not sure why it's not working. Do I need the <.> after IPM.Note
| or should it be IPM.Note AutoEmailSenderForm
|
| Mr.
|
|
|
| || Nope, I still get a file not found.
||
|| The full text I typed in the shortcut menu is:
||
|| "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OUTLOOK.EXE \c
|| "IPM.Note.AutoEmailSenderForm" \a Outlook:\Personal
|| Folders\AutoEmailSenderForm"
||
|| I thought I could publish the form somewhere outside outlook, like
|| into "my documents" folder, but outlook does not provide that
|| option. So I guess the trick is trying to figure out the last
|| portion of the <pat>\<filename> correct.

|||
|||| Good Evening,
||||
|||| I went to the link, followed the steps and was able to get the form
|||| created and saved to the personal folder. I was able to test the
|||| form code and it did send the email, with an outlook email security
|||| prompt.
||||
|||| So I was pretty excited that it was working.... I continued with
|||| the steps and tried to set up a shortcut on my desktop that would
|||| go to the form.
||||
|||| Here's my problem now: I can't seem to find the correct "path" to
|||| the form I just made. The outlook personal folder seems to be
|||| hidden or somewhere within outlook and I don't know what the path
|||| would be.
||||
|||| So what should I put in the path line of the shortcut?
||||
|||| I have used:
||||
|||| C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office /c
|||| "IPM.Note.Autoemailsendform" /a
|||| Outlook:\\personalfolders\autoemailsendform
||||
|||| This does not work... says file not found.
||||
|||| hmmm
||||
|||| Once I get the shortcut, I believe I'll be able to use window's
|||| scheduler. Correct?
||||
||||
|||| Also, the notes indicate using redemtion objects to get rid of the
|||| pop up security function?
|||| Would this be simply a matter of copying the redemption object VB
|||| code and replacing the script code that is included on the link's
|||| steps?
||||
|||| thanks!

||||||
|||||| hmmm...
||||||
|||||| Trick is our admin types won't install any add-ins or plugins...

||||||
|||||| Any, ANY, help is appreciated!
