Default Form code visibility

Hello, I need to create a message form where when a user will choose to push
Reply to All button a popup will appears asking the user if is sure about
replying to all with OK and Cancel options. Using the form editor I activated
the default action for Reply to All and I have the default popup appearing on
the screen. How can I customize the message of this popup or how I can write
my own popup? Also how can I see my form code?

Thanks
G

Default Form code visibility

Form code is visible in design mode by clicking the View Code button on the toolbar. You would use the Script | Event Handler command to insert the shell for the ReplyAll event, then add a MsgBox statement to show the dialog for the user's response. MsgBox is documented in VBA help.

Custom message forms are, however, generally a bad idea unless they are for use strictly inside an organization for a particular purpose.

Default Form code visibility

Sorry but I'm not a VBA :-( . I choose to design a form, I got the default
Message form and on Action I have reply to all. I want when I click to Reply
to all to have the pop up coming with OK and Cancel. I did Script | Event
Handler but the code is added is not executed. Any idea about the code for my
popup and how to have my code executed?

Thank you
George

Did you publish the form to the Organizational Forms library on your Exchange server? Code runs only on published forms.

Working fine - thank you again. My company wants to replace defaul Message
form in Outlook with this new form to have this popup for users when they
want to Reply to All - I don't think that is a good idea but anyway if the
default Outlook Message form will be replaced with this one this popup will
still work? Did you heart about somebody else changing the default Outlook
Message with a new form?

Default Form code visibility

Substituting a custom form for the default message form will not accomplish that goal, because the default form would apply to new items, not those received. It's also a bad idea that likely will cause problems in sending attachments to non-Outlook recipients outside your company -- i.e. to your customers and suppliers. But if they insist, see http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=39. Even changing the MessageClass of received messages to a custom isn't a great idea, because you'll run into attachment problems if you forward such a message to a non-Outlook recipient.

If restricting Reply to All is the problem you're trying to solve, an add-in would be a more appropriate solution. Or just disable the Reply to All button with Group Policy Objects and force people to copy and paste addresses when they want to send a bulk reply. That's not much more inconvenient than having to respond to a MsgBox every time.

Finally they decide to go to popup version and to modify the default message.
I will look to your link but just before that you said something about an
add-in solution - what add-in will be good here?

An add-in could be designed to handle the ReplyAll event for the current message.
