Web link to contact

[Anvah Gareson]

Hi,

I'm creating a web application to manage some information. It's a
trusted application and has access to all desktop properties, etc.

Is there a method of creating links which will open contacts in
Outlook? So if the web application link "Thomas Quinn" is pressed,
Outlook will open to the contact Thomas Quinn?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, the version is quite important because the outlook:// syntax detailed at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm does not work from regular web pages in Outlook 2007. It works only from web pages that are folder home pages. The alternative is to use VBScript or JScript to automate the Outlook object model, which may be blocked by the client anti-virus application.
