How do I Open Blank Email in Outlook?

[PantoKing]

Hello,

I am trying to write some code attached to a form that will open a blank outlook email window and populate the Subject field and to field with data passed from the form. I've got some code that will populate the whole email and send it but I can't seem to just open a blank one, any ideas?

If you automate Outlook from within access VBA, use the Display method (instead of Send) of the Outlook.MailItem object.

Hope This Helps, PH.
