Outlook Automation

[karsujit]

Hi,

I have a webpage which use to send mail using ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application") in Javascript.
everything seems to be fine if Outlook is open and running on the client's computer. But if Outlook is closed, as expected, no mail is being sent.
So is there a way of sending the mail if Outlook is closed or can I open Outlook if its closed from Javascript.

Thanks to everyone for giving me any clue on this.

Regards
SK

why not use something like

<a hreaf="mailto:from@email.address">email</a>

this will open an empty email using the default program.

I wouldn't do this on a public website. but I wouldn't use JS to access Outlook on a public website either. If this is an internal website the potential of misuse is decreased.
