Open MS Outlook

[net123]

I've seen some applications that open up MS Outlook with the Subject and From fields already filled. How can I open MS Outlook via a button on an .aspx page?

Thank you for your assistance.

The applications you refer to probably used a 'mailto:' link. The syntax for a mailto link is explained on

I am trying to Open Outlook on the client machine when the user clicks Submit on a form. The Outlook program should only open when certain form values are filled, otherwise it just saves the values to the database.

Does anybody know how to do this?

thank you.

There is not a way to know for sure if Outlook is installed on the client's computer. You need to apply form validation to the onSubmit of the form or onClick event of the button.

Try the javascript forum. This is a client-side coding issue.

The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
