Well, you can certainly write VBA code to open the form.  That would
get half the process done.

Sub SharePointTips()
   'Declarations
   Dim myItem As ContactItem
   Dim myMailItem As MailMessage
   Dim myRecip As Recipient
   Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
   Dim myOlNS As NameSpace
   Dim myOlfldr As MAPIFolder
   Dim myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
   
       Set myOlExp = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
       Set myOlNS = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
       Set myOlfldr = myOlNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
       
       Set myItem = myOlfldr.Items.Add("IPM.Contact.SharePointTips_Q")
       myItem.Display
       
       Set myRecip = Nothing
       Set myMailItem = Nothing
       
       
   'free variables
   Set myItem = Nothing
   Set myOlNS = Nothing
   Set myOlfldr = Nothing
   Set myOlApp = Nothing
   Set myOlExp = Nothing

End Sub

Put it in the ThisOutlook module.  Change the names to reflect your
system.

What I ended up doing is to use an AutoIT script to do a Sendkeys action:

Sub DesignCustomForm()

Dim RetVal

RetVal = Shell("""C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe"" ""C:\DesignCustomForm.au3""")
SendKeys "%(tfe)"

End Sub

AutoIT script (DesignCustomForm.au3):

WinWaitActive("Design Form")
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 200)
Send("{DOWN}")
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit
 There is a custom form that I modify frequently and I was wondering if there is any way to programmatically open the form in design mode?  Currently I have to go Tools -> Forms -> Design a Form -> Personal Forms Library -> select the form (or double-click) -> Open

 Thanks
