Yes, if the site is in the user's Trusted Sites security zone. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/formonweb.htm for sample code.

Sue,

Which part of the sample code tells the webpage where to locate the
customized form?

Sample code:
---------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!-- Enable Stealth Mode
  // Variable Definitions
  var nameSpace = null;
  var mailFolder = null;
  var mailItem = null;
  var tempDoc = null;
  var outlookApp = null;
  function OpenOutlookDoc(whatform)
  {
     try
     {
     outlookApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application");
     nameSpace = outlookApp.getNameSpace("MAPI");
     mailFolder = nameSpace.getDefaultFolder(6);
     mailItem = mailFolder.Items.add(whatform);
     mailItem.Display(0)
     }
     catch(e)
     {
     // act on any error that you get
     }
     }
     // Disable Stealth Mode -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
To use form buttons:<br>
<input type=button value="Form A" NAME="OutlookOpen1"
OnClick="OpenOutlookDoc('IPM.Note.FormA')"><br><br>
<input type=button value="Form B" NAME="OutlookOpen2"
OnClick="OpenOutlookDoc('IPM.Note.FormB')"><br><br>
To use text links:<br>
<a href=javascript:void(0) onClick="OpenOutlookDoc('IPM.Note.FormA')">Form
A</a><br><br>
<a href=javascript:void(0) onClick="OpenOutlookDoc('IPM.Note.FormB')">Form
B</a>
<!-- change the information between the single quotes to match your custom
forms class Name like IPM.Note.CustomForm - you can have different links to
different forms, provided you specify a different class Name for each link
//-->
</form>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------

   mailItem = mailFolder.Items.add(whatform);

whatform is the message class of a custom Outlook form -- e.g.
IPM.Note.MyForm -- preferably published to the Organizational Forms library.
See the usage in the OnClick handlers.
