Hi,

I use FormRegions in my COM AddIn. The FormRegions are saved to *.ofs files.
To which folder should they be installed, that Outlook recognize them?

Thanks
Christian

It can be any folder. Specify the location in the region's manifest. You can also load them as resources.

Sorry, I missed the part about it being an add-in. (D'oh! I should have checked the newsgroup name.) If you were not using an add-in, you'd specify the path in the the layoutFile element:

layoutFile%ProgramFiles%\Addin\Addin.ofs/layoutFile

In an add-in, though, you load the .ofs file in the GetFormRegionStorage event handler, usually from a resource that's part of your add-in project. See http://blogs.msdn.com/andreww/archiv...nmanifest.aspx
