Does anyone know how to get this to work?

here is the code I am using:

AppActivate "Microsoft Outlook"

I can get it to work for any other Microsoft program except Outlook.

thanks
 
Carrion,

I'm no expert, but I think that AppActivate only works if you provide the exact title of the window you wish to activate. Try using AppActivate "Inbox - Microsoft Outlook" and it should work.

Perhaps you could use VBA automation instead of appactivate to achieve the result? (i.e. send your mail message from access, word or excel etc)
