Advice for someone starting with custom forms?

[Fred Boer]

Hi all:

Tonight, by chance, really, I stumbled across a post that informed me that
in Outlook 2003, if you change anything on the "General" form, the form
changes it's look to Outlook 2002. Good to know! I am new to Outlook, and am
working on custom forms and VBA in Outlook - and it seems a strange beast to
this newbie!

Has anyone put together a list of "dos or don'ts" for working with custom
forms and code in Outlook? Or a list of major bugs/issues to know about? In
the Access world, there is a site with "10 commandments of Access" -
suggesting 10 "best practices" for newcomers... anything like that in your
world?

Thanks!

Note that there is a dedicated newsgroup for working with form with Outlook
down the hall;
