    Deploying Outlook forms

    I have a custom outlook form that functions well. I manually add it to Outlooks Personal File Library and I can then use this Outlook form to do whatever I need it to.

    The problem is, I want to deploy this form into the Personal File Library on 600 PC's but I don't want to do each one manually.

    This is the MS KB for installing a file :-

    MS KB

    I don't want a public folder in Outlook either. Reason being that I'm using FormsAdmin to change the default form used in Outlook and I can't get that to work with anything other than Personal File Library's.

    Any clues? I'm Hoping it's as easy as a file copy and maybe a registry edit.

    Why cant you get the Public version to work? That would be the correct solution, Publishing a Public Form to the Exchange Public Forms collection.

    Also, do the 600+ workstations all have CDO 1.21 installed? If so then I might be able to come up with a way.

    I think I've found a way so stay tuned.

    I think I'm misusing/abusing the way outlook uses classes.

    I need something called an Organisational File Library so I'm going down that route first.
