If you are using the new mail program that can be downloaded for free from Microsoft’s Web site, you can run it from within your program. Simply add this command to a command button::

 X = Shell("C:WINDOWSEXPLORER.EXE /root,C:WINDOWS _ 	Internet Mail.{89292102-4755-11cf-9DC2-00AA006C2B84}", 3)

Note that for this example, the Windows directory name is hard coded. For a production app, call the GetWindowsDirectory API and use that return value instead.
