In that case just use a Windows.Form object instead of worrying about
Outlook custom forms. When the button on the Inspector (open item window) is
clicked you open the form and display a listbox or whatever on the form with
other controls as appropriate. That's all you need to do.

Thanks for the response.

That is part of my problem, I am lacking the Outlook terminology.

Let me describe what I plan to do, and then maybe you can equate it to how
I
would do it.

When Outlook starts and loads my Add-In I will be connecting to a
database.
The database has a list of accounts in a table.

When I open an object (email or contact) when I push a button I want to
display (a form?) the list of accounts and allow the user to choose which
account to "assign" this item to.

Once chosen, I will update the database with the Outlook GUID.

When I reopen the item and press the button again to redisplay the list of
accounts I want to check the one chosen. In this case, it could easily be
a
combo box or something similar.

Is that better?

Dave
