Open a .msg file from VBA

Hey folks,

I need to open some .msg files that are sitting on a network drive into Outlook programmatically so I can use the SaveAs text and remove the formatting. Anyone know how? (All i need is the code to open the file in outlook, the rest is all done).

Cheers
J.

I think all you should need to do is a ShellExecute API
on each .msg file and it will open in Outlook if its your default
email program.

VB Code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As _
String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
 
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL As Long = 1
Private Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED As Long = 3
Private Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED As Long = 2
