Hi

You MAY be able to open outlook by using a browser side link of the mailto type, -IF- outlook is installed and set as the default email program...

However, the mailto syntax does not support attachments as a standard -AND- any pdf that your web sit ewould generate would be on the server side, and therefore it would be impossible to attach...

So If I understood correctly your question, the answer is you can't. That's one of the many limitations of web development.

Best regards

You might want to create an .msg file on the webserver and propose it for download which will open the default email client with the email.

Cheers,
