Chapter 12. Coding Key Custom Form Scenarios
VBScript code behind Outlook custom forms is event-driven. Code behind a form runs when the user’s interaction with a form causes item and control events to fire.

Just as important is being able to use form event code to validate the data that the user enters into the form. Another basic custom form coding task is to determine whether the form is displaying a new item or an existing item, or whether the form is displaying the read layout or the compose layout, or whether a new message is completely new or is a reply or forward.
