What have I missed?

I usually play on the Excel VBA playground- I'm not afraid to learn, but I'm relatively unfamiliar with the Outlook model. We currently have some paper forms that I'd like to replace with Outlook forms (if appropriate). I've done some basic reading, but I want to make sure I design forms that will actually work as intended. Our needs basically fall into two categories (examples

1) Message forms are designed to be sent, not to post data in a folder, and cannot be used as a folder's default form. 2) Mail-enabling a public folder is a task for the Exchange administrator.

This was different enough from my other post I though it made sense to seperate it into a different thread. I'd like to take advantage of the Outlook server name list, providing the user a box just like the To, cc:, or bcc: boxes where they can use the built-in name validation...but use that as a field in the form, not have it go to that person. For example, if we want to build a
