This session provides
the basics for creating useful forms with Microsoft Outlook. It
demonstrates the evolution of a vacation request from a simple
vacation request form
with voting buttons and new code ...
... to a form that creates an appointment for an approved
vacation in a public Vacations folder and sends a matching
appointment back to the user for their calendar ...
... to an Outlook 2000 form that automatically addresses the
request to
the user's manager and uses the Outlook View Control to display the
user's vacations when the request is being composed and the public
Vacations folder when the manager is deciding whether to approve the
request.
