Am I right in thinking that Outlook Express doesn't have an object model like Outlook? An OE user would need one of the more generic solutions suggested on this thread.

>>I have application that contains information about indiviudals including their e-mail address. I would like to add a button to the form so that when it is clicked OutLook or OutLook Express is opened and a new messeage is create for the e-Mail address shown on my form. The user could simply enter a Subject and Message and send the e-mail. Does anyone have experience doing this and can you give some example of the code required?
