Designing Outlook forms?

[HumboldtBlazer]

Anyone do this? I have created a nice I.T. Ticket form in Outlook. I have published it company wide but I want to add a simple logo or image. I click the Control Toolbox and click the create image icon. I draw my image box, now HOW THE HELL DO I GET MY IMAGE IN THE IMAGE BOX! I have tried just about everything and it is drving my frickin crazy. Any help?

Not exactly sure what you've tried, but from my experience in the past, certain things dealing with specific image locations and resizing, can only be done within a photo editing program like Photoshop.
Text files will not open there, so you might have to start from scratch, doing it with the text tool, adding your image, then, when you're done, click on 'Layer', then click 'Flatten image'. At that point, the image and text become one.
Keep the original copy just in case you want to change things later, but save the flattened image in 'save as', and add a letter or number to the file name and save as a .jpg.
If you want to send it via Outlook Express, you probably have to do it through 'insert image' then select that .jpg file. It will appear with the text and image where you want it, provided it's been sized properly.

I think outlook (not express) has "forms" which are like the forms in Access. I take it's for data entry: type stuff here, type stuff here, send. I've never bothered to play around with outlook much. I can set it up for email but that's about it.

Yes it is really more programing than anything. Rolex, your in left field. I have hella white papers on it just not one with adding an image. I use the tool, and define the area I want for my image then there is not way for me that I see yet to link the value to my pic file.

Outllok offers so much more, and then when you combine it with Exchange Server, OMG it rocks.

I think I have Outlook in my rarely used XP comp, but I'm using Express in this one.
In certain situations, I've found that certain images won't transfer from some programs or files into other programs.
What sometimes works is to open it in one program, then copy, then paste in the other. Chances are you've tried that.
The reason I suggest that is because when I did the new staff photo the other day, FastEddys avatar didn't even show up in my computer when I did a 'save photo' as. Even though it was a .jpg, photoshop couldn't open it, saying 'unable to parse file'. It was there, because when I tried it again, it said the file already exists. Couldn't even find it in Windows explorer, yet other avatars are there, and they open.
I went back to RCNT, right clicked it, then did a 'copy', then went to Photoshop and pasted.

Have you tried
ctrl-A
ctrl-C
click into your form document
ctrl-V

?

Or a drag and drop, Microsoft is real big on the whole OLE thing.

Sorry, I try to avoid MS apps whenever possible, I used to be a desktop publishing tech and still haven't fully recovered from the trauma of trying to get MS Publisher/Word/Works docs to print to film.
