help with form in outlook

[AccessIdiot]

I apologize in advance if this doesn't belong in this forum but I wasn't sure where to post it.

My co-worker designed a great form using the Visual Basic Editor in Microsoft Word. Now we would like to appy this form to a task in Microsoft Outlook. I can go into the VB Editor in Outlook and import the form but that's as far as I get (can you tell I'm a total noob?). :)

What I would ideally like is to apply the form to a task so that when a new task is started it opens this form.

Any ideas on how I can do that?

Thanks for any help!

Try exporting the form, modules and classes (this last ones could cause you some troubles) from your VBA in Word and then import them in your VBA in OutLook, whenever you want to show them just write.

Form1.show (or whatever is the form's name)

Just check that somethings are done with word constants and outlook will only recognize VB and MSO constans. You just have to change the constants to its numeric value.

I've done the form export from MS Word and import in Outlook. But that's as far as I've gotten. I am a total noob here so I need you to spell everything out for me in terms of steps to take. I can see the form just fine in the VB Editor of Outlook but when I go into my custom task how do I access the form? The only form I see in there is the Outlook task form. I know I can tweak that, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel since I already have the form in a .frm.

Am I talking in circles or am I actually making any sense? Sorry to be so confusing!!

And thanks for your help! :-)
