<br>
I am trying to open the default system email client with a new email<br>
(subject and attachment). I know about MailTo but that doesn't support<br>
file attachments. I have tried a couple of MAPI functions I got off the<br>
web but to no avail (one errors the other just runs and does nothing).<br>
Does anyone have code to do this?<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
