List of Forms in a Public Folder
Is there a way to retrieve via VBScript a list of forms in a particular
public folder? At 4:14 AM, I woke up realizing that if you could get a list of forms you could use that as a work around to only publishing a form to one location. The idea would be to create a custom form that serves as a form selector listing available forms. I'm about to release several message-related custom forms that will be published to a public folder, but seriously wanted to provide them via the Actions menu on the user's inbox.

List of Forms in a Public Folder
You may have bigger fish to fry: If the forms are published only in a public folder, they won't operate properly as message forms. Why? Because the recipient's copy of Outlook won't know to look in a particular public folder to retrieve the form definition.

List of Forms in a Public Folder
The form definition will not be sent with the item. So is it possible to list
the forms in a public folder? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You may have bigger fish to fry: If the forms are published only in a public folder, they won't operate properly as message forms. Why?

List of Forms in a Public Folder
Yes, using CDO 1.21, Redemption, or in Outlook 2007, the new StorageItem object, to work with the hidden messages that contain the form definitions. Which is your preference?

List of Forms in a Public Folder
I've posted a CDO code sample at http://outlook-code.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1683. Call it by passing the desired folder as an argument, e.g.:
