To all the outlook-gurus in this realm:

I'm new to creating user-defined forms in outlook.
And therefore I came very quickly to an unsolveable (at least for me)
problem.
I have to create a form with a lot of text, standart-sender-address
and standart-reply-to-address.

1. I need to add an attachment to the mail, but outlook denies
working!
There simply is no option available for adding attachments.
What am I doing wrong?
1a. Is there a way to call a custom path in the explorer, when adding
an attachment?

2. I also need to select an employees name, tel and fax from the
addressbook. Can i avoid the use of CDO?


I have created the form by using the standard-form-creator of outlook.
I haven't coded any VBA in the form.
My system: WinXPpro, Outlook2002


Please help me!

If you want a constant employee name, tel and fax numbers, in the final
published name, then you add that to the form before you go into design
mode.

Hello Mr. Hollis,

many thanks for your advice.
But that wasn't quite what I was looking for.
If the form is opened, the user should be able to select the name of
an employee (maybe DropdownBox in the form) and according to this
name, the fields of tel & fax should automatically get their values.

Can you tell me how I can do this?


@1. Thanks to another person, I got the solution:
To be capable of adding attachments, you need to have the
message-MainTextBody at your form.
