Forms v Templates

I am creating my own forms in Outlook and wondered if
anyone could tell me the definitive benefits of saving as
an Outlook Template (oft) over a form (frm). They are
both accessible in the same place.

Does anyone have any thoughts to help me? I am a end-
user trainer and would like this knowledge to feed back
to delegates should the question come up.

Thanks!

..oft files can be run by double-clicking them. .frm files have to be
installed first and then are run as published forms -- see

..oft files don't run code. Published forms do.

What are you using them for? That might make a difference.

Just ordered your book. just began programming forms in Outlook
(98/2000/2002/2003). I go to a new employer next month and want this form to
be ready. Can you tell me (cause the book will arrive to late) how I can get
textfiles or the boxes which you can select in the read page. I fill in my
choices in the compose page when running the form, but in the read page I
only see them, but there is nothing in it. Maybe I can sent my design and you
can take a look at it to help me just for a start. I hope so, cause at the
moment I really got stuck.

thanx.
 
The controls on the read layout must be bound to the same fields (on the
Value tab of the control's Properties dialog) as the controls on the compose
layout.
