Modifying a Form

J

jessica_boxer

I have done quite a lot of Access and Word VBA in the past, and so am
real familiar with VBA in general, and office in particular. However,
Outlook seems to be a whole different world, and I have to dip my toe
in that water.

All I want to do is modify the form for an email so that it has an
extra button on there. The button posts a task to watch for a follow
up. I can creat the task no problem, my difficulty is getting the
button on the form, and then somehow convincing Outlook to use that
form for all my email both past, present and future. I know it is
simple, but I just can't seem to make this simple task work.

Can someone help me?

That's a bad idea. Using a custom form for your messages will guarantee that anyone not using Outlook as their mail client won't be able to read any attachments.

Why not just write a VBA macro in Outlook and put it on the toolbar?
