Populate Outlook Mail from Form

[Jacob J]

I'm new to designing VBA stuff. I would like to create a
VBA form in MS Outlook, that will automatically populate
into say a predesigned mail template. Are there any
online resources for this topic online?


Thanks

Okay, I figured it out, I opened up the Forms section of
outlook, and noticed they have a template thing where you
can design your form.

Now that I've got all the fields I want, I tested the
form, and when I got my email, it didn't have any of the
information from my form fields, what did I do wrong?

Either you didn't create a read layout for your form -- so there's no way
for the recipient to see the fields -- or you didn't bind your controls to
Outlook fields -- so Outlook doesn't know where to store the data. You might
want to stay with the basics, including the webcast listed at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm
