To close a custom form, call the item's Close method. To create a new instance of a custom form programmatically, use the Add method on the target folder's Items collection:

Set newItem = targetFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Post.YourFormName")
newItem.Display

If it's a message form, use the Drafts folder as the target. If the target is a default folder, you can use the Namespace.GetDefaultFolder method to return it as a MAPIFolder object. To create an item in another person's mailbox, use Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder to get the MAPIFolder Otherwise, you can use the code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm to walk the folder hierarchy and return the MAPIFolder corresponding to a given path string.

HI Sue,

Thanks for the info but how do I make a reference to that item to use the
close method on it.

In what context? VBScript code behind the current item uses the intrinsic Item object to refer to the item.

From other code, the currently open item is returned by Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem. If you have the Inspector, it also has a Close method.

Thanks Sue

CurrentItem did the trick. It works now.

Kind Regards
