You can run any program on your computer from email or cell phone by using Microsoft Outlook (I have 2002). In Outlook go to "Tools"/ "Rules Wizard". You will have many options to "recognize" the specific email by "from", "subject", etc. As you step through the Rules Wizard you will chose "run script" as the action desired. You must set up the script first. To set up the script, go to "Tools"/"Macros"/"Visual Basic Editor". Click on the module folder on the left, click on the module, the module should populate the right half of the screen. Copy/paste the snippet below, it should get you started. Sub runprog(objMsg As MailItem) Dim WshShell Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run ("C:\temp\screen_res.exe") Set WshShell = Nothing End Sub notes: Rename "runprog" to anythin you wish, this is what will show up in the "Rules Wizard". Also change the path to the correct path of your program. Be sure to hit the "Save" icon in the vb editor and close out, go to Rules Wizard. Easy to do, works great, be mindful of how often you have your program check for mail. Have fun!
