Re: Using Custom Forms from other apps

Disable the File | Send To | Mail Recipient command and instead add a
command to run a Word or Excel macro that:

* Saves the current document if it is dirty
* Creates a new item using your custom form
* Attachees the saved document
* Displays the new item with the attachment

the Forms Administrator. All works ok so far and if I create a new mail
message within Outlook the customised form is selected as required, however
I need to be able to use the same form when mailing from other applications
such as Word or Excel, using the 'File - Send To - Mail Recipient as
Attachment' option, which currently goes back to the the OLD form, not the
customised one.
