This won't help...<br />
1. since the application is a Windows application and not web app. <br />
2. i need to launch default email client (like outlook, outlook express or any such client) with the file auto attached. Just like how Microsoft word does.

I have a Windows application which can open saved files. This is an MDI application and all saved file are opened as child windows. <br />
<br />
The application is required to have the ability to email the opened files using the default email client. Clicking on &quot;Email This File&quot; should launch the email client and auto attach the file. <br />
<br />
Any idea how to accomplish this....<br />
