Personal Forms Library

Using Outlook 2003 -- is it possible to put a shortcut to or a dropdown menu
for the Personal Forms Library in either the Folders List or menu toolbar? I
have a large number of messages that I use regularly and it would be easier
to use them if I didn't always have to go throught "Tools/Forms/Choose Form"
etc to find them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You'd need to write a macro for each form you want to launch. To create a new
instance of a custom form programmatically, use the Add method on the target
folder's Items collection:

Set newItem = targetFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note.YourFormName")

If it's a message form, use the Drafts folder as the target.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=56 for other ideas. If you
need help with the macro code, post in the
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba newsgroup, not this one.

Why not just have the messages in your Drafts folder? Open the Drafts folder,
right-click the prepackaged message and choose Forward. Fill in the specific
details and click Send.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I finally decided to just publish the
forms to my Inbox. They are then all available from the "Actions" dropdown
menu.

Thanks again,
