How can I pull current user info into a custom outlook form?
You'd need to use code behind the form to set the value of the desired property to the string returned by Application.Session.CurrentUser.Manager. If you need a primer on working with Outlook properties, see http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38

If by that you mean the user that's currently logged in to Windows, this will do it in VB6: Private Declare Function WNetGetUser Lib "mpr.dll" Alias "WNetGetUserA" (ByVal lpName As String, ByVal lpUserName As String, lpnLength As Long) As Long Function GetLoggedInUser() As String Dim UserName As String, Ln As Long UserName = String$(1024, 0) Ln = 1023 WNetGetUser vbNullString, UserName, Ln GetLoggedInUser = UserName End Function -Mark

How can I pull current user info into a custom outlook form?
Form code (VBScript) can't use Win32 API functions.
