Create custom forms by using VBScript

Microsoft VBScript is a subset of Visual Basic for Applications. You can use VBScript to create procedures that control Microsoft Outlook folders, objects, items, and properties. VBScript in Outlook requires a special object syntax that has some differences from referencing objects in Visual Basic for Applications.

Learn about the Outlook object model.

You can choose the Outlook item on which to base your custom form.

You can extend Outlook forms by using custom controls from the Control Toolbox. Outlook forms can use most of the properties and methods that come with the controls. Since controls cannot store values, to store the value you need to bind the control to an Outlook field.

The Outlook object browser displays the classes, properties, methods, events, and constants available from the Outlook object library. The object browser lets you view and use objects in the Microsoft Script Editor and obtain information about the syntax for using the object.

Learn about viewing and using the object browser.

The Microsoft Script Debugger provides you with a comprehensive debugging environment for testing and correcting errors in the VBScript code for your forms.
