Some combinations of startup switches don't work together. You can test that

in the UI by starting Outlook using those switches.

In any case you are better off starting an Outlook session and using the

CreateItem() method to create the email and then you can use the object

model to set subject, attachments, recipients, etc.

Thanks for your response

you mean to say Crete item. i am able to create item.. but how can we launch

that created mail

please see below code

Outlook._Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();

Outlook.NameSpace oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi");

oNS.Logon(Missing.Value, Missing.Value, false, true);

Outlook._MailItem oMsg = (Outlook.MailItem)oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.

olMailItem);

oMsg.Subject = strSubject;

oMsg.Body = strMessage;

fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(arrAttachPaths);

iPosition = (int)oMsg.Body.Length + 1;

oMsg.Attachments.Add(fi.FullName, iAttachType, iPosition, fi.Name);

oMsg.To = strToIds; // use rshoukldenetr the To Id

// send mail.. but here new mail should launch and user will enetr that to

email id

oMsg.Send();

oNS.Logoff();

oMsg = null;

oNS = null;

oApp = null;
