How can I open Outlook from VB?

[Simon Sellick]

Hi,

Sending a message from VB through either MAPI or Outlook works OK, but how
can I just open Outlook with a window open showing a new message with the
recipient filled in? Neither the Outlook.Application object nor the MailItem
object seem to have a .visible property, so everything goes on behind the
scenes.

Any suggestions appreciated.

OK - I just found the .Display method in the olMailItem.
