Hi
I want to create a collection of custom forms for Outlook 2003. I need to do
a comparison betwen the method of creating an outlook add-in with VSTO 2005
se and just simply clicking 'Design this form' from a mail message in outlook
and creating my own custom form with VBScript code.
Does anyone know where I can find more information about the advantages and
disadvantages of these methods so that I can come to a conclusion about which
method is more suitable for my project?

Thanks.

If you need custom Outlook forms then VSTO is no help, nor would any other
type of addin be of any help. The only way to design custom Outlook forms is
with the forms designer.

If you want custom Outlook forms you have no other options. If you were
using Outlook 2007 you could use the new Form Regions, but you specified
Outlook 2003.
