I meant "reflects". "10" does reflect Outlook 2002, as you say, as "11"
indicates Outlook 2003. However, Outlook 2000 (version 9) may not have
anything where "xx" appears.

"xx" appears in your string with
Office, and Outlook.exe is in Office 10 for me. I know this:
Copy-Paste your string and put 10 for xx and my Dist List name for
dlname in the string and I get Cannot find file
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office10\Outlook.exe" . The quotes
before C: and after Outlook.exe are to be there, Right? Any other
ideas?

There's no "C" in what I entered, so how are you getting an error message
that mentions "C"? If you want to put the explicit path, use this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Outlook.exe" /c ipm.note /m
dlname

I like to use the environment variable %ProgramFiles% because it's more
general. Some people (like me on one of my PCs) have their Program FIles
folder on a disk other than the C drive and the environment variable will
always be correct no matter where the Program Files folder resides.
