What's missing?I took the following code sample from an article about sending email via
asp.net. The error I get says: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No application is associated with the specified file for this operation So what am I missing? This is the code: Dim strURL as String = "mailto:***@somewhere.com?Cc:R***@righthere.com&Subject: Using Mailto to send mails&Body:this is a test" Process.Start(strURL) "KatMagic" <SSKatMa***@yahoo.com> wrote in message mailto: basically just tries to find the default mail client on the local news:OG1c35UzGHA.4448@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I took the following code sample from an article about sending email via > asp.net.

What is the default mail client on the machine in question...? I thought it was something like that. There is no mail client on the web
server, I want it to open the mail client Outlook on the client. How would I do that?

If you want a new email to pop up on the client. Use an href http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html I don't think you want an blank email to popup on the server. ... If you want the server to SEND an email.... then http://sholliday.spaces.live.com/ 2/8/2006 entry Show quote "KatMagic" <SSKatMa***@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%23zxn$xVzGHA.2516@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > I thought it was something like that.

I want to be able to fill in the blanks of the email depending on information the user plugs in from the web-based app, then the email to open up so they can either cancel the email or send it themselves. href won't do that, I believe??

Are you saying that you have a webform with fields like To: Cc: Bcc: Subject: and Message:? The user fills in these fields as required, and then you simply want to send the email? If so, then I don't understand where Outlook fits into the solution... Well, there's more to it than that for other reasons, but basically, that's
it. The user wants to be able to modify the msg from outlook before it is sent, so they have the option to send it or not to send it, plus the advantage of them having the actual message retained in their sent folder. Thanks for all you rhelp.

If so, how about putting the sender's email address in the Bcc: field so they always get a copy of the email...? You could even create an Outlook rule which marks these emails as read and moves them directly into the users' Sent Items folder... :-) 2) Are the users using Outlook to connect to an Exchange server, or with POP3 mail accounts? If the former, it is possible to interface IIS and Exchange. However, it's complex and will probably involve you a great deal of work for very little benefit. 3) If this is deployed as part of an intranet system where you can control the security, and every user uses Microsoft IE as their web browser, you could develop an ActiveX control which could manipulate Outlook client-side via Office Automation and do your thang. Again, probably a huge amount of work...  |
