What do you mean by "Explorer form"? Outlook custom forms are applied to individual items, not to folder UI. The methods available to change the appearance of the Explorer window include folder home pages and, in Outlook 2007, custom task panes.

Hey Sue,

Is it possible to write your own Explorer window for viewing a folder in
Outlook 2007. (.net form)
Folder home pages can only be web pages?

Grtzz,
Koen

"Web page" means HTML (which can display anything you want, including an
ActiveX control), not just something that is downloaded from a web site.

As Dmitry said, you can pretty much put whatever you want into an FHP. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/news.aspx?id=45 for links to samples using .NET
techniques.
