Default Accessing a custom form via web page

Hi,

I am wondering if it´s possible to set an Outlook custom form to be accessed
via web page (or Intranet web link)? I have published my form in Organization
forms library. I am looking for an easier way for other people to access this
form (rather than Tools - Forms - Choose Form).

I also found some other options to make the forms more accessible, for
example Windows shortcuts etc. but does this apply on many users?

What I do is write a macro to open the form and put it in the ThisOutlook module
of the VBA environment. Then Alt brings up the list of macros and you can
select and run the one you want.

You can probably add a button to the toolbar and run the macro from there. I
have not done that, myself.

The problem with both these options is that there is really not a good
deployment scenario. Each user has to create the macro and/or button on their
own desktop computer.

Thanks for information. I quess I´ll find the way that suits for my
situation. Accessing the form should be made as easy as possible for common
users not familiar with the environment.
