Truncated path name - ignoring switches

[SteveSan]

Hoping someone can help.

I'm trying to get Briana open my Outlook calendar with a custom command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\office16\Outlook.exe /select outlook:calendar
The problem I have is that Briana seems ignore anything after the file name i.e. Outlook.exe ignoring the switches and simply loading Outlook.

Any ideas?

You can use command prompt commands with "cmd:" prefix (without quotes).

Check this link for example: https://www.brainasoft.com/braina/community/index.php/topic,91.msg397.html#msg397

Thanks saurav

I finally managed to get it right using outlook as intended. I need to use Outlook and not the windows calendar.
For anyone interested, use:

To start Outlook without opening a second instance of Outlook if it is already open, use the /recycle switch
cmd:start outlook /recycle

To open the calendar
cmd:start outlook /recycle /select outlook:calendar

To create a sticky note
cmd:start outlook /recycle /c ipm.stickynote

To create a new email message
cmd:start outlook /recycle /c ipm.note

To create a new appointment
cmd:start outlook /recycle /c ipm.appointment
