Exchange/Outlook tip
Help files for public folder custom forms

If your Public Folder Custom Form requires lengthy, highly detailed Help Files with lots of screenshots and easy navigation, the easiest way to manage this is by creating Intranet web pages.  This way your users get the most up-to-date information, without any nasty deployment issues.

Of course, hyperlinks added to a custom form at design-time won't be operable at run-time.  To work around this limitation I use either a Command Button or an Image Control with the following code snippet behind it. (This code uses an image control named MyLinkImage)

Sub MyLinkImage_Click()

Set MyApp = Item.Application
Set Web = MyApp.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Web.Visible = TRUE
Web.Navigate "www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com>"


End Sub
