Dear All,

I have a NT4 with default exchange client installed and an Outlook Express 5 installed. Oe is set as default mail client.

If I use MailTo: with ShellExecute (e.g. in a test vfp program) a new OE message brings up.

OK, so far so good. But...

If I click VFP Send button, a new Exchange client message is brings up. (Ok it is normal, because it is MAPI compliant)

And now, the point!
If I click on Word, Excel or NT Explorer Send button and select Mail... a new OE message brings up with an attachement. (The current file)

But, as far as I know: Outlook Express 5 is not MAPI compliant. Then, Word or Excel how can it use? I thought that they use it via ShellExecute. But then, How they add an attachment programatically. AsI know, ShellExecute doesnot support to specify an attachment.

Any comment will be appreciated!
