Command Line Switch - Attachment

[mattshep]

I'm trying to run this switch in a batch file, inserting an address and
attaching a document.

"c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\outlook.exe" /c imp.note /m
(e-mail address removed) /a "h:\document.doc"

Leaving the /a it inserts the address fine, but I cant seem to get the
attachement working.
error = "The command line argument in not valid. verify the switch you
are using"
Running XP Pro and Office 2003 SP1

prob being stupid about something, any help would be appreciated!

I'm trying to run this switch in a batch file, inserting an address
and attaching a document.

"c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\outlook.exe" /c imp.note
/m (e-mail address removed) /a "h:\document.doc"

Leaving the /a it inserts the address fine, but I cant seem to get the
attachement working.
error = "The command line argument in not valid. verify the switch you
are using"

I believe the /m and /a switches are mutually exclusive. I just created a
shortcut whose target was

"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /m
myname@myaddress?subject=Check%20This%20Out /c IPM.Note "%UserProfile%\My
Documents\Test.txt"

(all one line, of course.) I did not include the /a and I got an Outlook
compose window with my address as the recipient, "Check This Out" as the
subject, and a "Text.txt" attachment.
I tried putting it in a batch file, though, and it didn't work. I got an
"object could not be found" error.
