I don't know if there is or not, but I would think that this would be the last thing you want to do. Just look at any anti-virus company's website to see how many viruses are spread by attachments to e-mails.

I always insist that users detach attachments so that my anti-virus software can check the attachment properly before it is launched. In fact, if I could find a way to disable the Launch function, I would do it!

good point
but it's quite necessary to launch this batch file to delete a folder from the users' c:\ root.

the email is only being sent to people who rewuire it with the company and cannot be forwarded

any suggestions?

It is possible to run a script when people open it. But you need to use a special form (copy from th memo form) and send this with the email. Then you can put a script in the Open Form query. Wih lotusscript you can create the batch file as well (so a attachment is not needed), or maybe you can do the action (delete the folder) direct.

A better solution is to use a Button with the script, so a user knows what happend.

A 'problem' can be the ECL on the users workstation....
