Capturing Outlook Forms Events

[Duke2]

Hi Sue,

Thank you for that information. I know it is confusing and I'm not making it

any clearer. When I said I dont mind showing the original message on preview

window, I wanted to make a compromise. It's ok to show the original contents

on preview but atleast the user will see what I want him/her to see when the

message is opened. However I'd be happier to show my messageY on messageX's

preview window if it's possible. But I can live without that part as long as

I can show the messageY when user double clicks on messageX and opens it.

I know I can use Item_open on a custom form to call whatever functon to do

this. Now my questions are;

1.) Can I retrieve messageY in Item_open event and show that as opposed to

showing messageX? If so what's the command to retrieve a message?

3.) If I opt to custom forms, I'd have to publish it into Organizational

Forms Library to make it avaiable to all Outlook users, but how can I enforce

the Outlook users to use that form?

Thanks

Duke

1) That depends on what you mean by message -- an existing message, a saved

> .msg file, etc. And what do you want to happen when the user replies or

forwards the message? Think through all those details.

3) You don't. Your server routine would need to change the value of the

message class for each affected message from IPM.Note to your published

form's class.
