XPrint Control on Outlook 2003

[jescohen]

I've been using XPrint Control to print a custom form on Outlook
2003. I also had other delegates using it on Outlook 2000 without
problems. I just upgraded the delegates to Outlook 2003 and now the
XPrint control does not work for them, but it still works for me. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

The XPrint control is supported only on Outlook 2000. If it works for you on 2003, great, but I wouldn't expect it to stay functional.

Thanks, how would you advise a very novice programer to print custom
forms on Outlook 2003?

I'd advise such a novice to become more than a novice and write code to create either an HTML message or a Word document using the data in the Outlook item and then print that message or document. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=24

Hi Jeff,

Have you considered using a third party addin?

Savvisoft has released 'Blueprint for Outlook' which will allow you full control over the layout of your custom forms when printed. It also integrates into Outlook completely, so your delegates wouldn't even need to know it was there.

If you like the sound of it, you can visit http://www.savvisoft.com for more info.

Kind Regards
