You're confusing VBA user forms and Outlook custom forms -- not an unusual newbie detour. They're not the same at all and cannot be substituted one for another. If you want an Outlook custom form that you can use to create items in a public folder, you'll need to start over using the Outlook form designer. The information on the page at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=35 might be useful to you if you're new to custom forms.
