MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / July 2006Outlook 2003 - Forms Icon On toolbar doesn't list any forms
I have several forms stored in several places in outlook but can't seem to figure out where I need to save them in order for them to appear within this icon drop-down. Does the icon represent something else and is not really a convenient form selection list like I thought? What "icon drop-down" are you referring to? Outlook has no form selection list other than the one in Tools | Forms | Choose Form.

It doesn't list any forms at all and I don't recall loading any add-ins, the new version of office/outlook was installed by my coprorate SA about 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to figure out how to use it ever since, seems to me it would be a cool feature. > It's not a built-in Outlook feature.

You can look in Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options | COM Add-ins to see at least some of your add-ins. (Add-ins installed in the HKLM hive of the registry won't be shown.) Have you ever published any forms? If not, then try publishing both to the Personal Forms library and your Inbox to see if any such forms appear in the list.

Maybe the button is left over from an addin that you once had installed but no longer is present. If you remove the button, then restart Outlook and it doesn't come back, then you'll know that button does nothing. If you want a tool to launch forms from the toolbar, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm#tools SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx > nothing there...it is very strange.
