I have created a few templates (emails) which are stored in the defautl
templates folder. However, the process of going through ...New-Choose
Form- selecting the form folder - selecting the template... every time I
need to open a template seems to negate the expediency of creating the
template in the first place. I would like to be able to create toolbar
buttons/icons with which to open my templates to save time. Have not been
able to find resources to help me create macros to associate with tooblar
buttons (only for Forms, not templates). Any info would be helpful.

Thanks,

Tom

why do you need macros? hyperlink the template or store the template in a
folder in outlook and open it from there.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Diane,

When I drag and drop the template to a folder and then try to open it I get:


When I try to use the assign hyperlink to a menu button I get:



Seems to me the error is the same, either way I try to open the template.
This does not occur when I use the File-Choose Form- select appropriate
template from saved location procedure....
