Creating forms in Outlook
Creating forms in Outlook
(OP)
I'm not sure if this is where I need to be posting this form, but hey, it's all good.
I am trying to create a form in Outlook that can be selected just as "New Mail Message," "New Contact," or "New Appointment" for example. Basically I want people to be able to open this form, fill it out and e-mail it to me within Outlook. I'm trying to make this as easy for everyone as possible and make it short and sweet for the end-user (no opening Word files, filling out the form and then attaching it to an e-mail... that has too many steps). Any ideas?

You can then create the form you want with fields, buttons, and so on.
Save the form and send it to all your people. They can then bring it up, fill it out, and send it off.

Do I have to have any special permissions to do this? When i go into that screen it won't let me do anything except view the current forms. I can't create a new one or even change an old one.
RE: Creating forms in Outlook
Are you sure you are going into 'Design Form' and not 'Choose Form'?

With the Outlook Bar visible, Click on View>Folder list (If folder list is not already visible).
Find you file in the folder list. RIGHT Drag the file to the Outlook Bar. Let go of the mouse button.
