MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / October 2004Custom outlook form
Hi In outlook 2002 I create a custom form named IPM.Note.CommonForm with some script inside. I active it as default form to send email from OL It works good. But I cant opened this form from other applications like excel, file explorer...: in fact when I send email from an other application the original default form is open. How I can do replace the original default form by my custom form ? best regards Gilles Le Bret If you have Outlook 2000 or later, you can make a registry change to substitute your custom form for the default form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#changedefault .

One is to not use send to and instead create an Outlook message as you normally would and then attach the file. The other is to do the same thing, only do it with Excel code to automate Outlook, creating the message and saving and attaching the current file. You can then put that Excel macro on your Excel toolbar.
