If a Word item is actually an email item from Outlook then the
ActiveWindow.Envelope.Visible property is True.

You'd need to use Outlook code for that.

Hi,
I'v realised that.
I was going in a wrong direction...
Is there a way that I could save e-mail along with the attachments, so
they would be opened in outlook dorectly, or do I have to add the e-
mail from a msg file and attach files to thaat e-mail.
Regards..

If you save an email that has attachments as an MSG file when it's opened by
Outlook the attachments are there. You do lose some information from the MSG
format as certain properties are lost and some are changed such as some
dates.
