Outlook Form Error: The Attempted operation Failed. An Object Could Not be found

Question

Hi all
I would like to create an Outlook Message form that has Combo Boxes in the Email Body (Message Text)

 

In The developer tab, select “Design a form”

1. From the Standard Forms Library, select “Message” and press the “Open” button

A new message template is created

Publish the Form

Save the form and exit

Go to the “Choose Form” button and select the form I  created

Create  two Combo Box in MS Word and paste into the Email Body

In the Developer Tab of Outlook, select “Design This form”

Publish the Form

Run the form

 The error below appears

 Why do I keep getting this error ?
Sometimes the error occurs before I add the Combo Boxes to the message

Answer 1

My mistake, the VBA Forms Controls are actually different than the controls used in custom Outlook forms. Regardless, you cannot use controls from Word in a custom Outlook form, and you cannot add any custom Office controls of any kind whatsoever inside the email body (only HTML can be used).

Answer 2

VBA Forms Controls cannot be used in the body of an email, as the body is rendered in its own control that cannot host other controls.
