Linking to a folder using a custom form

I am trying to link to items in an outlook folder (from
Access) using a custom form defined in my personalforms
library in Outlook. I can link to the folder but it pulls
up the data using the default item type which excludes
custom fields. Knowledgebase articles 161174 and 26118
explain how to link but add as a note that if you want to
use a custom form you must define that in the "message
class field". It does not show an example of how to do
that. Can anyone please help me with this?

The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been
able to duplicate the results. See
http://www.slipstick.com/dev/database.htm#linkedtables .

That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and
Outlook together.
