Default Edit Message field

(outlook 2002)

I have a custom form (based on Public folder) for submitting change
requests. Once sent the form is stored in PF and users can edit the form. I
created an Edit button on Page 1 of the form which when clicked will unlock
fields in the form so users can edit the fields. However to edit the Message
(white) field users would need to right click the field and choose "Edit
Message". This causes confusion to form users since there are two different
ways to edit form content (Edit button on page 1 to edit fields on pages and
"Edit Message" option to edit the Message field).

Is there a way to simulate the "Edit Message" option in the vbscript code of
the form?

Regards
Long

You can invoke any toolbar command programmatically. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/commandbarfun.htm
