Is this possible?

Why would you want to open Outlook? You can do all of those things without
Outlook.

So my user can then just select who they want to send it to.
I will add the attachments and text from my application.
The users to receive the email may not be part of the Organisation so I
cannot provide a lookup in the application.

Why can't you provide the user with a text box and have them comma
delimit the email addresses.

It is possible, but may not be necessary. If it is necessary, the newsgroup
to ask would be:
microsoft.public.vsnet.vstools.office

It is possible, but may not be necessary. If it is necessary, the
newsgroup to ask would be:
As is fairly well known, Office Automation through ASP.NET is a really bad
thing to do in terms of performance.
Even Microsoft themselves strong advise against it... http://support.microsoft.com/default...US;q257757#kb2
Oh yes, I advised against it also!

So, you are saying that I can go to an asp.net website, and asp.net can
open outlook on my client machine and "create a new mail, add
attachments and set the body text"?
Please enlighten me! (no cockiness intended)
Thx.

No - what Kevin and I are saying is that there is no need whatever to open
Outlook on the client machine in order to send an email, as everything you
require (including attachments) is available through the .NET Framework,
specifically the System.Net.Mail namespace: http://www.systemnetmail.com
You must have seen webpages like this before: http://www.markrae.com/contact/mail.aspx
>is that there is no need whatever to open Outlook on the client machine in order to send an email, <<
I am aware of that.
What the original poster was asking for was to "when the user clicksa
button I want to be able to programmatically open Outlook, create a
new mail, add attachments and set the body text. Is this possible?"
This was so the user can "then just select who they want to send it
to""
Which I replied to no, it is not possible.
Kevin's reply was "It is possible, but may not be necessary".
That is why I am asking how is it possible, because I don't know how...
(btw, I know about office automation, but that would only be possible
on the server end AFAIK).

1) Assuming Outlook is the default mail client, the mailto HTML tag would
launch Outlook on the client. The mailto tag accepts various arguments
including subject, body etc...
2) Otherwise, client-side automation is possible though messy with an
ActiveX control (if all the clients use IE) or a Java applet...
I certainly can't recommend either approach...

Right, but you can't do attachments.

Right, but this is no longer asp.net realm. You can do pretty much
anything with an ActiveX control.
>I certainly can't recommend either approach... <<
So we are on the same page. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing
something very obvious...
Thx.

Actually, you can apparently, under certain conditions... http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...lto+attachment
I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like it would work...
