Inside Outlook (not Outlook Express!), and all the Office applications for that matter, the language is Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), not VBScript. The two languages are closely related, but there are differences between them.

If you wanted to run an external application, you'd have to have the Windows Scripting Host do it for you. In your VBA Code Editor, go to Tools, the References (I think!), and set a reference to "Windows Script Host Object Model". The you can write code like this to get an external app to run:
Dim ws As New WshShell
ws.Run("notepad", 7, True)
