I am trying to create a form in outlook and when I click on the control toolbox, it comes up with two blank tabs. I tried reinstalling outlook, without success.

Does anyone know how to get the control toolbox back?

I found the solution to this in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 254097. Here it is:

To reset the Toolbox to its original configuration, perform the following steps:
1. Quit Outlook.
2. Click the Start button, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.
3. Click the Name and Location tab, and then in the Named box, type Outlook.box.
4. In the Look in list, select the drive in which you installed Outlook.
5. Click Find Now.
6. In the search results window at the bottom of the Find dialog box, click Outlook.box, and then rename the file (for example, to Outlook.bbb).

When you restart Outlook and start Forms Designer, the Toolbox contains only the Controls page, and all of the default controls are displayed on the page.
