Have you tried the SendObject function it should be a lot easier to use than an API call. Unless that's what you have to do.

Thank u very much Pezamystik for replying to my question
But can u plz tell me more abt the sendobject function ..also can u give me a small piece of sample code related to it?
Hope i'm not troubling u Pezamystik
My main objective is to open a new message window of default mail client by attaching a file to it as it opens


Thank u again

It is a Visual Basic function. Look in veenlr3.hlp- (VBA Help) for SendObject and it should fill you in.
The syntax is DoCmd.SendObject..
Also on your other post I found an API call that allows reading of the Registry, but not writing. Check it out here...
