If Outlook 2007 is your platform, then the solution is to use form regions, a new feature in that version, not published custom forms. My book provides a very basic introduction to form regions, which are also covered in the Outlook Developer Reference on MSDN. They need to be implemented with an add-in if they have any kind of complex functionality; the recent books by Randy Byrne and Ken Slovak cover such add-ins.

However, without details about what your application is trying to do, it's impossible to say whether a form region would be a workable solution.

"Microsoft does not support" means that you create such solutions at your own risk. If it doesn't work, Microsoft won't help you fix it.

I got the book "Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming" by Sue Mosher, I have browsed the web, especially http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb177050.aspx, but I am still puzzle. Where do I start?
