VBA code in the "New Message" window

[Richard]

I'm looking to write some VBA code that does the following (I've done allot
of VBA in Excel by not sure where to start in Outlook):

In the "New Message" window the user should have the ability to Open a form
that contains a drop down list. This can be done via a new menu item or a
new button on the tool bar, not sure what's easier.

From the new form that opens, the user will select a option from the
dropdown list and press a button. This will insert a web link into the
E-Mail. Currently we have to open a word document and cut and paste the link
into the E-Mail. We do this 20 to 30 times a day. It would be nice to
automate this a bit.

Thanks, Any help would be appreciated.

See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/stampdate.htm which can serve as
a starting point for you. It places a date/time stamp in an Outlook
item. There' a lot more information at Slipstick about how to
customize Outlook forms, use VBA code and how to create and use
toolbar buttons to open forms.

Ken,

Thanks for the help. I've got my form create and only one last thing to do.
How do I repalce the default message form with my new form so that when we
select "New-Message" my new form opens up instead of the defualt message
form?

Thanks.
