Title: Command line switches for Outlook 2007
Post by: nubia 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 (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... :'(
