The Switch Forms utility requires the form configuration files from the Outlook
client. The Microsoft Outlook Setup program installs the form configuration
files automatically. The Switch Forms utility also requires the Outlook form
configuration files. The Typical Setup option in Microsoft Office Setup or
Outlook Setup does not provide these form configuration files.

To install the Outlook form configuration files:

1. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

2. Click Microsoft Outlook 98, and then click Add/Remove.

3. Click Add New Components, and then click either Install From CD or Install
  From Web.

4. Click Development Tools.

5. Follow the instructions in the Installation Wizard to install the
  configuration files.
