I get a page not found error. Is this happening to anyone else?

i cant get it either, i am getting a techrepublic.com.com\.... for the screen address.

Every way I try to get it, I run into a HTTP 404 Page Not Found error.

All I got after many tries was the PAGE NOT FOUND

Sorry for the problems with the download -- apparent publisher glitch. Please let us know if it still gives you trouble.

This article is a very useful article. However, is there any way to design forms that resemble the Outlook 2003 feel? For example, the contact form that is designed in the tutorial resembles the Office XP forms rather than the the Office 2003 forms. Any idea on where I can find the Outlook 2003 forms to modify?
Thanks.

Does anyone have experience customizing forms for Outlook and know how one goes about modifying the default ICON for emails? Occasionally I get an email in my inbox that uses a custom ICON and I'd love to know how to send emails using a form that would show a custom icon in the receivers' inbox. Thanks for your suggestions.

This was good information. Luckily, the UI of forms creation is pretty easy to understand. What is somewhat more mystical, is how can one deploy just the .oft file to a shared file system, then launch the form from a hyper-link on a web page? That would be really cool.

I would like some fields to all of my teams task items. I need each of them to be able to see/use my new custom form and that it becomes the default Task form in Outlook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I joined TechRepublic I was under the impression that the site would provide ORIGINAL content rather than reproduce content that is freely available in other locations -- for example this article which is available on Microsoft's site at this link: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA012106101033.aspx
