Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to create a switchboard on the left of the screen with refers to all other forms;

just the way Outlook works.

Regards,

Peter
 
Not sure exactly what part of outlook you're talking about. But if you're wanting a tree structure, then insert the Microsoft TreeView control (you will have to populate it programmatically).
 
Hi,

I was talking about the navigation pane OUtlook uses for it's different objects (mail, calendar, tasks,...)

Is it more clear to you now ?

Regards,

Peter
 
You will have to use Activex controls in your form. Have a search on "VERTICAL MENU" with google.
You can also arrange all the command buttons at the left from top to down. But you don't get the functionality of Outlook(Close/Open) with this
