Hi -

I have recently created a simple Outlook 97 form based on the standard
MailItem which has been customised with a whole load of fields. There is
little VBScript in the Compose pane except for an Open event which sets the
To: field to a fixed address. The Read version is similar, except that
there is an Action which opens up a new instance of a different form, and
the Custom Action event copies field values over to it.

Unfortunately, there are a number of sales users who are not able to use
Outlook 97 outside the office, so I would ideally like to be able to provide
alternate means of creating and sending the form. The obvious way seems to
be to write an ASP and somehow hook it up with the existing Outlook Web
Access website.

I am a complete novice at customising the OWA - can somebody give me any
pointers as to how to go about this? Or maybe there is some other way I can
get users to send forms?

Just to clarify - I am running Exchange 2000 SP3 on MS Small Business Server
SP4. And I have a mixture of Outlook 97, 2000, XP & 2003 clients!

You can look at using WSS forms (or Exchange Web Froms) to do this if you
have a look at the Exchange 2000 Technical Articles tree on MSDN there are 3
pretty good articles on this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/exchanchor/htms/msexchsvr_e2k_ta.asp?frame=true .
There also some samples and a reference for all the form tags and interfaces
in the Exchange SDK which you can download from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange. The other place that has good
information on Exchange Web Forms is Siegfried Webber's Blog

Glen -

Thanks for those links. I was also wondering whether it is worthwhile using
CDO, even though it seems to be "deprecated" now. All I want to do is for
my web page (presumably an ASP) to create an instance of my
IPM.Note.CustomItem, and send it to a standard address, with all the
UserProperty fields filled in.

Yeah CDO should work okay the (CDO) 1.2.1 Rendering objects aren't installed
or supported on Exchange 2003 anymore but apart from that it should be fine

Cheers
