Outlook Form Designer - Field for end user to paste image

[S Johnson]

I am trying to create a form in Outlook 2003 using the Form Designer
function. The form must contain a field in which the end user can paste an
image. The images pasted won't always be the same size, so the field must
auto-size to the image.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

The only "field" into which a user can paste an image on a custom form would
be the item body.

It would be possible to write code to put an image into an image control on
the form, but you'd have to do a lot of work outside the Outlook object model
to get the image from the clipboard into a saved file and to read the image
size so you can resize the image control.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the
hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
.. I've crossposted my response to that newsgroup and will look there for any
additional questions you have.
