VBScripting or VBA in Outlook Custom Forms

[Buddy008]

Hello,

I know a little bit about VBScripting, and a good deal about Visual Basic programming. I have been tasked to come up with something using Outlook Forms. We are still using Outlook 2000, so you'll have to work with me here

I'm not even sure if this is entirely possilbe, but here goes...

It's an automated routing slip.

Has textboxes for entries like:
To: Date forwarded: Remarks: Date Received:

I have 15 rows of these in total, so there is room for a lot of back and forth travel.

Now, when the first person fills out this information, and clicks send, I want the receiving person to see the first row as labels, so they cannot edit anything. This is simple enough, as long as I can get an understanding of how to make textboxes and labels work (I could use some help in that department, and that's why I'm here!!)

Any examples would be excellent, but if no examples, maybe a point to somewhere useful? I have been on MSDN all day, but can't really find exactly what I'm looking for.

Ok, with that said, another problem I am having is that when I click send, the receiving person doesn't see any of the information I entered. It just sends the default form. I am assuming this is because there needs to be an "OnEvent" function or something in there.

And also, since there are two different forms to work with, one for compose, and one for read, how can I let them see each other.

Example... The compose form has textboxes to input the information, and the read form has labels in place of the textboxes.

I plan on making labels and hiding them under all my textboxes, and on send swapping the two, basically acting as a read only function.

Then, when you click forward, the compose form comes up, and I'll need whatever was changed into a label to stay that way.

I know there is a lot of information in this, but any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

P.S. I just found the VBA portion of this, but I'm not really familiar with how VBA works. It's odd to me that the visual basic editor is under the macro menu. I can code this a lot easier, but I don't know how I would open my VBA form from my outlook form.

Any Suggestions?
