Open Email Client with Attachment

[Tom4511]

I have a need for code to do one simple thing:

Open the users email client with an attachment.

I'm very familiar with CDO, MAPI, vbSendMail, etc. Those do not universally accomplish the desired goal.

The goal is very much like in Explorer when you choose Send... Email... it opens your email client with the selected file attached.

This needs to work universally, whether your email client is Outlook, Outlook Express, AOL, Eudora, etc., etc. All the solutions I'm familiar with are not universal or are intended to be full blown email clients.

I don't need to have To, CC:, body etc. Actually I can do half of this now with the ShellExecute and "mailto:" option. The stumbling block is the attachment part.

Is anyone aware of code to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Tom
