Launching Outlook

Hi,

Using client side JavaScript, could I launch Outlook 2002/2003 via a
client side web page containing JavaScript?

Thanks,

Emil

You can't launch a client-side executable using JavaScript running in a
Web browser in the default security environment.

Yes, but only if your page had the security permissions to allow it.
ActiveX (MSIE) could open an application. Again, though, security
restrictions apply outside an HTA context. If you want this level of control,
an HTA is your best bet. MSIE/Windows only, IIRC.

This should not even be attempted in a normal internet environment.

Are you going to install it on my computer before you attempt to open
it? I have no Outlook installed so obviously you can't open it unless
you install it first. But the answer to your question is no.

Hi All, When I do start>run and type "outlook", outlook launches successfully, even though the path to outlook isn't set. If I try to type in outlook in command prompt, outlook doesn't launch.
