| re: outlook email from a .net Web Form
Chuck,
I would not recommend attempting to run Outlook in your VB.NET running on
the Web Server, as the user would not be able to see it! The other major
problem is Outlook requires a Profile, and the account the Web Server
normally runs under does not have a profile configured...
You may be able to use some JavaScript or VBScript in your form to cause
Outlook to come up on the client side, assuming they have Outlook loaded.
Remember this would need to be runat=client script!
I have not tried it, could you redirect to "mailto" url so the mail client
on the client machine came up with a message form?
Hope this helps
Jay
