<Rant> Stupid Outlook Forms!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SOOO pissed!!
I just spent an hour working on a custom outlook form..
I made a small mistake, so Ok I'll hit Undo
NEVER HIT UNDO!!
Screwed up the WHOLE FORM!
Not just the little bit effected...
I mean it put a command button label on a multipage control label! WHAT?!?!?!
How did it do that?!? It put label captions inside of text box captions!! HUH?!
<insert expletives here>


Pathetic thing is, this is *supposed* to be the "latest and greatest" from MS... Outlook XP DEVELOPMENT edition.. WTH?!?!?!
Worthless!
(yes I have the latest SP)
Yes I know I should have saved, but that is just inexcusable


Sorry just needed to vent
Their script editor is just appaling (can't even tab over a line by highlighting it much less a block of text). Can't edit in the script debugger so ya gotta go back to the script editor.. save it, publish it.. and then run it again
(the reason you have to use their script editor is, to my knowledge, you can't save the script into the form w/o it.. so if I wanted to use metapad I'd have to cut and paste back and forth )

Just needed to vent :/
Have a nice day! lol

Rant Part Deux!!

*sigh*
Ok So I re-did everything I lost due to the previous bug and yet again I've hit another one

I have a multi-page control one of my pages on the form.. I moved some controls to the 2nd page "no problem" grr
Anyways.. I tab back to the first page no problem, but then go back to the 2nd page... CRASH
Outlook completely closes
Well after a few hours of playing around realized that after I add the webpage control on the form it starts crashing when I change pages!!
ARghhhh
So now I have to figure out how to add that in there, maybe figure something out
BUGGGGYYY

How are people supposed to get development done in such a pitiful excuse for a development environment??!?!
Horribly unstable
Well my journey continues...

Let's see,... a microsuck product behaving badly on a MS OS. I'm shocked and appalled! Then again, I also laughed and cried...

Developement tools that lose/corrupt/screw work, suck, period.
