Outlook Forms question from a business analyst

Question

I'm not a developer but I would like to use a custom form at an enterprise level. Ideally, we would like to put a "mailto" link in a number of strategic places on our intranet and have that link open a custom form that is prepopulated to go to
a particular mailbox.
The form I created uses 4 regions (ideally I would like to display them as tabs... but that's another question)
A person in our IT said that regions can't be shared at an enterprise level like that. Can someone confirm that and is it that difficult to accomplish what I'm suggesting with basic Outlook features?
Suggestions?

Answer 1

web.show_document will never work with 4.5, it wasn't introduced till 9i.
You need to use the HOST command to invoke the browser, like suggested in the above post. Or you create a batch file that does that and you execute the batch file with HOST command.
In case you use a batch file, the .bat file should exist on each of the client's machine or on a shared network drive where the client machine can access it, so it's better to use the command directly into the HOST built-in.
HOST('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.google.com', NO_PROMPT, NO_SCREEN)
batchfile content:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.google.com
HOST('OPEN_BROWSER.bat', NO_PROMPT, NO_SCREEN)For more information on HOST check the Forms builder Help files.
