I am making my own web site, and I was wondering if there is a way to create a button that, when pressed, will open up Outlook Express. Thanks in advance! peace ---

getURL(“mailto:”,"\_self"); or \ will open a new Outlook message. I’m almost certain you wont be able to make it load the actual Outlook main window, unless you use [fscommand](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/fscommand_projectors.htm) to run an external script to launch it. I could be wrong. ---
