Moving Custom Forms

[Greg Morrison]

Hi,
I am trying to move a custom form that I developed from a test machine to a
product machine. I don't have Exchange as these are individual instances of
the Outlook client. Is there a process documented somewhere that explains
how to move a custom form from one Outlook instance to another? Thanks

Save them to a network location and load from that location at each client.
I believe you can script this.

{Tools][Options][Avnaced][CustomForms][Manage Forms][Save As] - or [Install]

This lets you save Personal Forms from the Personal Forms library to a
file. If the form is somewhere else just find it and copy to the Personal
FOrms Library and Save As....

Another approach is to create an item from the form, save it as an .oft
template file (which you should have anyway as a backup) and then run that
form on the other machine and publish it.
