Notification Mail and IE instances

    Good morning everybody,

    this question has nothing to do with DBMS or SQL.

    I'm sure you know what I mean. I really like the notification mails I received. Because of convenience I click on the link provided in the mail.

    Now, when I have several instances of IE running, it opens the link in an instances of IE's choice (my guess is the last one used?).

    Is there a way, a setting, a tools that let's me control in which instances a link opens?

    Cheers,

    Frank

    Unfortunately no. IE will pass to the last one used or viewed (viewed doesn't always work exactly rigth) unless you are able to set your email app to "Open In a New Window".

    I have a small self made email app with functionality to strip out weblinks.

    Shouldn't be too difficult to get all together and fire a SHELLEXECUTE command. Now I only need to determine running IE instances and hook in.

    Any ideas for this?

    Cheers,

    Frank

    uuiih, here in my company we can only afford Outlook

    However, I'm on the hunt for some code snippets on the internet and have found some promising links. I hope putting it all together in some of the next evenings.

    Thanks, anyway!

    Cheers,

    Frank
