[removing microsoft.public.outlook group]

In that case, you're not talking about published Outlook custom forms at all. There are several possible approaches, but they depend on how much code you want to write, your comfort level with writing HTML code, the Outlook version, whether this is something for your personal use or for wider distribution, and your tolerance for security prompts. Could you fill in some more details for us?

For the security prompt issue, see See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=52 for your options with regard to the "object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.

Thanks to both of you. I would be doing this from outside Outlook (through
Automation), and I would need to place text within the body of the e-mail,
e.g.:

Dear [ ]

Thank you for your [ ].

Regards,

[ ]

And so on.

Does Outlook have an e-mail "form" or "template" where the body of an
e-mail
can be created, and just certain fields can be filled in, as particular to
the recipient?

What I am needing to do is create such a form (if possible), open Outlook
through Automation, and then populate certain fields with the data, and
then
send the e-mail (or leave open for the user).

I'm no expert, but I have been able to do this for my personal (not
company) installation of Outlook. One example: for spam complaints.
I click one button and a new email pops up, with a couple of addresses
already filled in and the words "Spam report:" in the subject line. I
do it without templates, just an Outlook macro.

It's a lot more difficult since Outlook doesn't have a macro recorder
(version 2000, anyway) like Word and Excel do, but I was able to find
some code online and modify it.
