why not create a batch file that runs your command, then launches outlook, then publish the batch file. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jonathan Kadoo Sent: 02 December 2005 14:55 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Published Application command Hello everyone, I was just wondering if there is a way to run a command before launch a publicated application. What I am trying to do is have another program kick off before Outlook launches. Is there something I can put in the command line to do this? thanks Jonathan
