This is becaused of the enhanced security added with the Service Packs; no
code can be executed in the Preview Pane.

This is now normal behavior in Outlook for forms with code behind them.

Do I have any other option? I have two drop down fields on the custom
email form and item_open, Item_write, Item_send events. It is very important for user to preview the message in preview pane? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

No, you have no other option. If you have code behind the form, the preview
pane cannot display the contents. The user can still use AutoPreview to see the first 255 characters or so. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Shadow" wrote in message om...

If I dont save the design of the form saved with it, would the preview
pane still know that original form had vb code in it? I mean at the recieving end, if the message is recd with no custom design with it, should not it open in preview pane?

It doesn't matter whether you're using a published or one-off form. The
behavior is the same. If the recipient has no access to the published form, though, I think the preview pane may still be on. But I haven't looked at that scenario with Outlook 2000 lately. If it's not necessary for the recipient to use your custom form, then you could also just create a new email message in your Item_Send event handler instead of sending the custom form item. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Shadow" wrote in message om...

Can I create custom dropdown on the toolbar some how and then on click
event or change event of the dropdown send the selected value to the currently opened email form. Is that at all possible? This way I keep the custom code in the dropdown and email remains clean and hopefully users can see it in the preview pane then? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

What you're describing is a COM add-in, which would have to be installed on
each user's machine.

Perhaps I failed to explained the complete situation. I already have
a com-addin and I am instantiating it in my item_open event. Anyways.. now I added the com-addin code to two custom dropdowns I created on the toolbar. Dropdown gets populated with whatever value. So far so good. Now what I need do have is when user creates and email and if something is selected in the dropdown, I need to capture those selected values in my email body. So somehow click event of the dropdown needs to send the value to the email message form. So how do I do that without having any custom vb code in the email form (rem objective is to have the user see the email in preview pane). "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...
