Wait for form close

[Scott Smith]

I have a custom contact form that contains a button that initiates a
journal item form. Once the journal item is closed, I need to test
some properties of the journal item. My problem is that my VBScript
initiates the journal form, then attempts to test the properties of
the form which has not been closed yet.

Portion of pseudocode of what I want to do:

Sub cmdButton()
Initiate journal item
Wait for user to enter data in journal form
When user closes journal form, resume script
Examine data from last journal item
End Sub

Thanks for any help!

The simplest way is to open the Journal item as a modal form.

Michael-

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!
I was familiar with modal forms from the design end, but didn't know I
could call an Outlook form as modal. Very cool!

Thanks for the help!
