Hello All,

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to
programatically manipulate the built in Outlook interface
forms within the product via the Outlook Developers
Object. For example if I start Outlook and I initiate the
steps to create a new contact, there is a checkbox on the
form to specify that the address is the mailing address
for the contact. Is there a way to change or manipulate
that label text? Also, could I add another checkbox
underneath of it that would display something like "This
is the billing address?" Finally, could I create a new
tab on the tabset of the form? Any information, insight,
KB articles, or object references would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

What you are describing are custom Outlook forms. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/forms.htm for information on how to create them. FYI, there is a separate newsgroup for Outlook forms issues -- microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms.
