I have published a custom task form to my Organizational Forms Library
following the instructions he http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=34.

It works great, and now I have 2 quick questions regarding selecting
the published forms:

1. Can I make the forms available by selecting the NEW menu, so I
don't have to choose the form, and then browse to find it? I would
like be able to select New and have it show my custom form there AND
the default task form for that folder.

2. If not, I think I am supposed to be able to highlight the task
folder, then select the ACTION menu and see the availabe forms? But
others in my group do not see the forms I published to the
organizational forms library there. They can only create a new form
by selecting new and then browsing to find the form.

Thanks!

I think once the others use the form, it will be on their actions menu.

what version of outlook?

The custom form will only be in the Actions menu if the form is published to
the folder or if the folder default form is set to be that custom form. The
folder properties PR_DEF_POST_DISPLAYNAME and PR_DEF_POST_MSGCLASS would
have to be set to the custom form display name and custom form MessageClass.

I am not quite as technical so forgive me - when you say published to
that folder, I am not sure what you mean. I published it to the
Organizational Form Library - is that what you mean? I am using
exchange server 2003 and OL 2007 btw - sorry I forgot that in the
first post.
