Although I haven't really done much in VB, or with any other MS SDKs, I'm pretty sure you could launch Outlook from code. Check out these threads:

Something to the effect of
var obj = new ActiveXObject( Outlook.Application );
obj.Launch();

Submit to Email opens Outlook

Hi all

Does anyone know if it is possible to make the InfoPath form check that Outlook is open when the form is submitted?
My problem is that some users forget to open their Outlook and forms submitted as Emails are not sent until Outlook is open.

I saw someone suggesting that data could be submitted to a Web Service and let that one do the emailing. But in the environment where the form is to be used everyone has Outlook. All I need is to make sure they use it.

Any inputs are most welcome.

Best regards
