I'm creating a utility that will create an outlook form based on input from
a user. I think I've found most of what I need, but I can't find any way to
programatically add code to the form. Anyone...?

It is not possible to programmatically add code to an Outlook form.

Doesn't that sort of kill most of the benefit of being able to create the
form programatically?
Oh, well... Thanks for the info.

Not really, since the hardest part of creating the form is what I call
"pushing pixels," placing the controls on the form. Adding code is a piece
of cake compared to that.

But you can't automate the form creation if you need code behind it...

You could if you build the form on an existing form that already has the
code you want to use.
