Shell and Variables question

[jahlmer]

I'm using the following Shell Command to create a new Outlook message to send a fax:

Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m [fax:Someone@Fax]

Now, It lets me do this:

Dim Var1
Var1 = me!Contact

Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m [fax:" & Var1

But, it won't let me do this:

Dim Var1
Var1 = me!Contact
Var2 = me!Fax

Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m [fax:" & Var1 & "@" & Var2 & "]"

It says it's an invalid command switch.

The True Question:

Does anyone know how I can make a single variable to equal [fax: [contact] @ [fax]] so I only use one variable to add to the shell command?

Thank you.

And that second command should have Dim Var1, Var2 (sorry).

Anybody? Please?
