VBA question on opening programs (WXP-Pro)

[marshallgrads]

Hey gang,
We use a terminal emulator here at our workplace that has visual basic for applications installed. I want to map one of my "F" keys to open up Microsoft Outlook, wait 5 seconds, and then open up a specific document. Can someone show me the code to accomplish this task?

I don't need the code to map the key, our emulator has a nice little feature for that. I just need the code to open Outlook, and then open the folder that contains the document.

Thanks

thought of using shell command?

Being a newbie, I don't know the shell commands. This is the help that I would be looking for.

Or just create an Outlook object and use the methods on that.
