    Command line switches for Outlook 2007
    « on: February 28, 2009, 09:47:24 AM »
    Hello-
    I'm wondering if there exists a switch for bringing up a particular Contact in Outlook 2007 from the command line?
    I've visited http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP012185891033.aspx and cannot see anything that might work.
    The following command " Outlook.exe/select outlook:contacts" will bring up all the Contacts in Outlook but
    I want to display a particular contact.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Just a guess.

    Copy the contact of interest into anew list. Let it be the only item in the new list. Then use a witch that will open just that contact file.

    Does that sound like what you want?

      Can I do this from the command line?

      Weel, I can't. That is a job for:

        VB Script Man

      You can do a VBA and it should do whatever you want.
      But that is beyond me. Out o practice.

        Should I post on Microsoft Dos?
        Or is there a VBScript forum ?
        Maybe it can't be done and I'm wasting my time... :'(
