Custom outlook form

[Gilles Le Bret]

Hi

In outlook 2002 I create a custom form named IPM.Note.CommonForm with some
script inside.
I active it as default form to send email from OL
It works good.

But I cant opened this form from other applications like excel, file
explorer...: in fact when I send email from an other application the
original default form is open.

How I can do replace the original default form by my custom form ?

best regards

If you have Outlook 2000 or later, you can make a registry change to
substitute your custom form for the default form. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#changedefault .

I guess form substitution doesn't work when Simple MAPI is involved (which
is how the Send To command works). You have a couple of choices. One is to
not use send to and instead create an Outlook message as you normally would
and then attach the file. The other is to do the same thing, only do it with
Excel code to automate Outlook, creating the message and saving and
attaching the current file. You can then put that Excel macro on your Excel
toolbar.

Hi Madame Sue and thanks for answer.
I thought that and in our company the choise is the second case.
I know create code in applications with vba like excel , word, autocad ...
But for the files explorer of windows or other application without language
like winzip, snagit ... how can I do it ?

For Windows Explorer, you can replace the shortcut in the user's Send To
folder with a shortcut to Outlook.

For other applications, you'd have to create the message first, then insert
the file.
