How to use a custom form located in an Exchange public folder?

[Bingo]

A custom form, MessageTest is installed in a public
folder, Test Form Templates. I set the MessageClass like
the following but when the email is displayed, it does
not use the form. How do I use this custom form?
Thanks.

oMapiMail.MessageClass = "Outlook:\\Test Form
Templates\IPM.Note.MessageTest"

and

oMapiMail.MessageClass = "Outlook:\\Test Form
Templates\MessageTest"

Two problems (at least):

1) Wrong syntax for setting the message class. This would be correct:

oMapiMail.MessageClass = "IPM.Note.MessageTest"

2) The form will appear only when you open an item saved in that public
folder. Outlook doesn't know to look there for a particular form. Message
forms, therefore, need to be published to Organizational Forms or Personal
Forms.

Thanks. At least I know that is not a solution.

p.s. Sue, have you got a chance to look at the SendAs
thread we started last Friday? Thanks.
