Hi,

I want to sent a link to my users (internal network), which opens a
local program.

I can do this by inserting this link in my outlook mail:

file://c:/myapp.exe

But what if I wanted to send a parameter (like a customerID) in the
mail. This doesn't work...

file://c:/myapp.exe customerID=1234

Any idea?

Thanks!

Have you tried to put the whole thing in pointy brackets? Like:
<file://c:/myapp.exe customerID=1234>

Or: Create a shortcut file (.LNK) with the required command line and
attach that to your message. However, there's a good chance that that
kind of attachment might be blocked.

Or: put the above shortcut onto a network share and include a link to
that shortcut in your message: file://F:/folder/App.lnk
