Calling a Custom Form

I have been trying to customize Outlook Today by creating a separat
outlook.htm file and have it working fairly well, except for one part.

I have Microsoft's "Class Notes" installed and a separate folder for i
in my .pst file. When I open that folder, and either do

1) a menu selection of "Actions.New Class Notes"
2) use the pull down menu next to the "New" icon and click on "Post i
this folder"
or
3) press <CTRL><SHIFT><S>
then I get the custom form for a Class Note.

If I just click the "New" button, I get a new message form.

Now, in my Outlook.htm file, I have the following code to try to mov
to a new class note:

<a href=""
onclick="window.document.location.href='outlook://Fr. Frank/Clas
Notes';
window.external.OutlookApplication.CreateItem(0).Display();window.event.returnValue=false;">
New Class Note</a><BR>

This moves me to the correct folder, but opens a new message form, an
not the custom form for a new Class Note.

Does anyone know how I can access one of the three items mentione
above,
or is there another way to invoke a custom form in the way I a
trying?

Also, I am interested in the thread started by Perry Dror: "Savin
Notes"
- I am having the same trouble and neither running "scanpst.exe
worked, nor did trying "outlook.exe /repairfolders"

Perry's post is as follows:
I am using Outlook 2002.

I find notes very convenient for keeping snippets handy
to cut and past in various emails, etc. But when I make
changes and then close the note, i get a slew of error
messages (the same one repeats itself several times):
Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter
values are invalid.

This is driving me mad. Any suggestions?

Any help on this would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

When you are looking at Outlook Today, the New button will always be for a
new message. That's just because of the context of the Outlook Today
"folder."

To launch a custom form with code, you need to use the Add method on the
target folder's Items collection. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm

As for the other thread you cited, post your response to that thread.
 
Thanks Sue,

I'll take a good look at this in the next couple days (maybe weeks wit
Easter approaching!)

Thanks also for the "corrective" on the other topic I quoted. I hav
actually (I think) made some progress there and have posted a coupl
messages on Perry Dror's thread.
