Open a custom Outlook form from an Access form? 1

[AllenRitch]

I would like to have a button on an Access form that opens a custom Outlook form I created. I know how to use the following code to open and send a default mail message, but of course, this isn’t what I need.

Set outLookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application&quot
Set eMailItem = outLookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

I’m not sure if this is relevant or not, but the Message class of my custom Outlook form is IPM.Note.Bankruptcy. Would I use this in place of olMailItem?

Assuming this can be done, can I also automatically populate the user-defined Outlook text fields with my Access text fields?

Thanks

With further research, I discovered how to open the custom Outlook form using the following code:

Set outLookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application&quot
Set outLookName = outLookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI&quot
Set outLookFolder = outLookName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set eMailItem = outLookFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note.Bankruptcy&quot

However, on my Access form, I have a field/control named DebtorName. I also have a custom field on the Outlook form named DebtorName as well. Is it possible to automatically populate the value of DebtorName on the custom Outlook form with the value of DebtorName on the Access form?

For those of you who care. You can populate custom fields between Access & Outlook using the following:

Set outLookProp = eMailItem.UserProperties.Add("txtDebtorName1", olText)
outLookProp = strDebtorName
