I created a new form (2003 Outlook) and pulished it, but now I can't figure

Custom Forms --> Manage Forms" but that's about it. I would like to save it
on a drive that can be accessed by many people.

Well, You have not said if your environment includes an Exchange server. If it
does, then the best place to publish it is in the Exchange Organizational Forms
Library. If you have one, then you want to open your inbox folder, right click
it, choose properties, click on the Manage Folder tab, and use the forms manager
to move the form from where you published it, to the Organizational Forms
Library. It should only be published in one place, and the OFL is the first
place Outlook will look for it.

If you published it to your personal forms library, then you should be able to
find it on your actions menu in the Outlook Inspector application.

If you do not have an Exchange server in your environment, then you need to save
it as an .oft file in your file system, the send it as an attachment to all the
people who have to use it, and give them instructions on how to install it, etc.
Or, manually carry the copy to each persons's computer and you install it.
That way, you could actually be certain that it was done correctly.

But remember, that once you save the .oft to their computer's file system, you
need to double click it to create an item in Outlook, and save it to its default
folder in Outlook. Then you open that item, and publish it to the personal
forms library, where Outlook can find it and also run the code that lives behind
it.
