I need to create a button on the toolbar that will open a template stored in
the office\templates directory. I tried creating a button that hyperlinked to
the template but Outlook has decided such a move is dangerous and once the
user gets past all the warnings, the template comes up blank because outlook
has blocked all the functionality.

Any ideas how I can use VBA to get past the annoying prompts and get the
button to open the template directly? In effect, the button would recreate
the steps of going to File New Choose Form Look In: User Templates In
