Yes, it's just a matter of creating the item (MAPIFolder.ITems.Add, specificy the custom form message class) and then setting the appropriate properties ( http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm ). A bit of grunt work to write the code and test, but no rocket science.

I've created a custom form based on the contacts template at work for one
department to track all client communications we get from each client
individually. So currently there are thousands of these in its folder.

I've also created another custom form on the contacts template as a "client
database" of basic info for each of our clients. Currently there are about
260 of these.

My boss would like to...I dunno, duplicate the information somehow, and I
think this is impossible to do but he's making me ask.

If I added the same fields from the client communications form to the client
database form (date, description of event, client name, client number, etc).
is it possible to program a command button so that it will open a new client
communications entry form and fill in the right fields?
