I'm using Access2007's VBA with a string like:

C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe /MAILU='Andrew M. Bott';SUBJECT='PO 104001-4900034574-LCPI-2';ATTACH='D:\My Documents\Rubber\Suppliers\LCPI\PO 104001-4900034574-LCPI-2.pdf'

Nothing happens: no errors, nothing.

I've even tried: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe /MAIL

But, nothing happens here either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

Thank you,
Andy

Thanks Roelof,

I've just found 15 messages in my outbox! So, my code was working, the new messages were created there.

How can I open a new message window.

Help shows /MAILTO but, this just creates a new message in my outbox, too.

BTW: mailto links in webpages open new message windows well.

How can I open a new message window?

Thanks,
Andy

PS BatPro, 4.0.38; W7 32 bit

Thank you,
Andy
