tutorials & or programs

[Guest_imported]

I would like to learn the following:
1. I have an e mail that I would like to send once a week AUTOMATICALLY.
2. How to create forms in Outlook.

Are there any programs (freeware or commercial) to accomplish both tasks. Are there any visual tutorials as well.

As for #1, I am almost sure you could do that with Outlook, not Outlook Express though. The one that comes with MS Office.
And as for #2, if what you mean is HTML forms, like the ones in webpages, then I wouldn't try to do them in an email application, but rather a webpage editor, like Dreamweaver or GoLive. Once the form is created chances are you can bring the code over to your email program. I haven't tried bringing forms, but I have done it for other regular HTML elements, like hypertext, tables, formatted text, etc. Outlook Express will allow you to edit the source code of your email message, this way you can bring the code for your forms. I would imagine you can do it too with Outlook, except that I can't speak from experience as I haven't played long enough with it to know for sure.

Good luck with this,

With regards to building forms Microsoft Press usually has a book out on this. Last I know of was a book called Building Application with Microsoft Outlook but I am certain they must have something more current.

Check with Amazon or local book stores. joegz

Since you mentioned freeware, Netscape Communicator since 4.0 has a page editor that is very adequate for forms, and if you want a spiffy one, OpenOffice.org (or MS Office, free if you already have it)

Basically in any of them you just click on Insert Form, then Insert text boxes, or rdio buttons and start typeing text labels.

Its a long way from rocket science, howsabout snatching a old Netscape 4.78 (much smaller) and then do 'Composer'
