Default Displaying a custom message form on the New menu

Hi all,

I've got a requirement to make a new custom form available to users from the
File/New menu or selecting from the New button dropdown list.

Any ideas how I do it? I've created my custom form, published it in the
organisational forms library and I can go in and choose it through the usual
forms selection screen but I'm completely stumped for how to offer it as an
easily-selectable choice along with the other New items normally listed.

any advice gratefully received
All the best,
Darren

That would require VBA code on each machine or, better yet, a COM addin. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm
