I have designed a form based on the Contacts form and mistakenly published it
to Personal Folders rather than to the Personal Forms Library. I want to
delete it and start again or copy it to the right place. The Help info tells
me to go to Tools, Options, Other tab, Advanced Options, Custom Forms and
then Manage Forms to delete a form from the Personal or Organisation Library.
However, I do not have the Custom Forms button in my Advanced Options – I
didn’t save it in a library, so maybe that is why.

How do I delete the form from Personal Folders or, alternatively, move it to
the Personal Forms Library? I am working in Outlook 2000 and Windows 2000.

At a later stage, I would also like to use this form on another PC which is
using Outlook and Windows XP. What is the best way to get the form into the
Personal Forms library on the other PC? Can I copy it and send it as an
attachment or is there another better way?

Any help in this confusing world of Outlook forms would be much appreciated.

You apparently are using Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode. You will have to either change to Corporate/Workgroup mode or use one a code solution. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm#remove

There is a much simpler way to handle deleting forms. Select any folder and
right click properties and select the forms tab. Then select Manage Forms
which will open the Forms Manager. You must then select Set open up the Set
Library dialog box, then selct open Personal Foms and click Ok, this will
return you to the Forms Manager Library where you will be able to open+ and
view the directory of your librarys as well as delete any selected custom
folders.

That only works in Outlook 2000 corporate/workgroup mode. Internet only mode
did not support the forms manager. As Sue indicated the user would have to
switch modes to use the forms manager.
