Regions are UI application elements that can be stored in different places,
depending on the implementation:

-- As standalone .ofs files
-- As .ofs files stored as resource files in an add-in
-- As application components in the add-in (if created with the VS2008
designer)

They are not and cannot be stored in an Outlook data store. If you want a
form region to be present on more than one machine, you need to install the
add-in that manages the region or, if no add-in is involved, the region's
..ofs file, .xml manifest, and registry value.

Also note that form regions are not folder-specific. They are associated
instead with standard and derived message classes. For example, if you have
an item with the message class IPM.Contact.Me, it will display (by default -
there are options for other behavior) any regions associated with IPM.Contact
and any regions associated with IPM.Contact.Me.

In connection with Outlook 2007 I hear more often the term "Form region". I
do not understanda despite many articles where exactly the definition of the
form region is stored.

In other words, If I want my FormRegion to work the same way on the second
computer, what steps should I do ?

How to update my formregion on two computers then - can both Regions look
into the same folder on the Exchange and can they be somehow stored in the
storage (OST, PST) ??

Thank you very much for very basic clarification of this myth for me
