Creating new forms using the sample forms

[PatrickH]

I created an internal purchase order/requisition collaboration system using
Exchange 2000 several years ago using one of the samples provided. I took a
break fromIT and on returning found that we've moved to 2003 and I want to
create a similar system for my new company. Being a very basic developer, my
skills are limited. None of the staff seem to know where the samples are
kept or how to install them. I have searched the webs extensively without
success. I've read the Outlook developers book, again without success. Can
any one assist me in locating these samples and information on how to install
them on the Exchange system for collaborative sharing?
Thanks

What specific samples are you referring to? The available Microsoft samples
are listed at http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mssampleapps.htm

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the URL - most useful. The one I was looking for was Outlook
97/98 Template: Office Supplies/Equipment Requisition (Purchase.exe) but I
note its there for Outlook 97/98. Would this still work on the Exchange
2003/Outlook 2003? It seems that the previous company had problems when they
migrated from Exchange 5.5 to 2000 and no joy in 2003...

In general, Outlook custom forms work with any version of the program. Post
back if you have specific problems.
