I'm using ShellExecute to pass a mailto: command line to the default mail client on user's PCs (in this case Outlook). The code line sent for Outlook 2000 is:

MailTo:User@mymailserver.com?Subject=Medical QualificationWaiver Consults statistics &body=Report for December 2004:  &file="C:\MedAccess\Dec20042SIF5.pdf"

where the &file= string is a file to be attached to the messge. On PCs using Outlook 2003, however, an error indicating a bad switch is returned and Outlook won't open. Removing the " marks from the filename in the &file= string allows Outlook to open with no error, however the file is not attached to the message automatically, as it is with Outlook 2000.

Anyone have any hints on how the command line has changed from 2000 to 2003?

Thanks.
