Standard Forms Library

[Jeb]

We have a site that uses Organizational Forms, the problem we have is
users not following the directions correctly and they create additional
forms in multiply languages.

Is there a way to add additional forms into the Standards Forms
Library? (I couldn't find anything on that topic) or Is there a way to
add additional resource location to their drop down menu? Our
organization spans across the continent and this is the only site that
uses forms, we don't want to publish forms for the entire org to have
access or even read permission. Any advice or suggestions are greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!!
Jackie

The only places you can publish Outlook forms are to the Organizational Forms library, each user's Personal Forms library, and individual folder libraries (which are not suitable for message forms).

Thank you so much for responding to my question. You are an Outlook
icon!!

My colleagues and I thought it wasn't possible of what our end-users
want to do with forms. We have published the message forms in a Public
Folder Forms library. These forms use another form as the reply. When
we go to setup the reply action on the original form for the reply form
it only allows us to choose from the Personal forms library, Standard
Forms Library or Organizational Forms Library (which for security
purposes are no longer using this feature). It doesn't allow us to
choose from that folder library. Why doesn't it? Is there a way
around this? Only 500 users at this site use the forms, they are not
widely used in our organization.

Thanks again,
Jackie

As I indicated in my earlier post, message forms need to be published to the Organizational Forms or Personal Forms library. Think about it: If a message that uses a custom form arrives in your Inbox or uses another form as a reply, how would Outlook know which among potentially thousands of public folders might have that form in its forms library?
