Re: Launch an outlook form failure



It's not quite clear where you published this form. You must publish it to the Personal Forms library if you want it to work with the /c switch.

I have created a custom contact form and published it in the Outlook Folders
library called IPM.Contact.testform1. I want to lauch this form from a
desktop shortcut which would execute the logic in the Item_Open() event, and
I have followed the instructions under
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm. My shortcut target looks like
this
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /c
"IPM.Contact.testform1"

When I open the form in Outlook, everything works fine. When I run the
shortcut, the base contact form is displayed an not my customized one. Is
there something else I should be doing?
