Architecture of the Form Converter

The Form Converter consists of the following components:

• Conversion wizard You use the four-step wizard to provide the information needed to convert your forms.
• OFT-HTML engine This is a COM object that reads the layout and data-binding descriptions from the original Outlook form and writes out code in the corresponding PageN.asp files.
• Form Converter templates The files listed under Structure of Converted Forms are generated from base "template" files that are delivered with the Form Converter. See Using Form Converter Templates.
• Template processor The Form Converter uses a template-processor object to process the Form Converter template files in order to generate the form being converted.
• Setup The Form Converter, which is packaged as a self-extracting executable file, is integrated with its own setup program.
