vbscript in Outlook Form controlling Word

[dziv]

Okay, I'm asking this again, because it got buried last
time.

I have a custom Outlook form that opens a Word document
and fills out formfields with data the user provides
within the Outlook form. It then background prints the
Word document and saves it.

My question is this: does anyone know how to control
Word from an Outlook form using vbscript. I need to leave
the revised document on the screen and have Outlook give
control to (activate) Word so the user can continue
working in Word.

Thanks!

Shows a couple of neat things like:

- Adding a toolbar button to an Outlook form on open using VBScript inside
the Outlook form
- Using Internet Explorer to display a "File Open" dialog
- Push the Outlook contact properties into a selected Word template (.DOT)
