Outlook Forms 1

[Gazzieh]

I have created a form that has a series of fields (drop downs, radio and simple textboxes) and the normal email main content box has been removed.

When the form is completed then everything works fine and as expected.

When the form is received I have a standard email layout (To, CC, Subject, Main Content) instead of all the form fields.

What am I doing wrong?

I had a similar experience but the problem was with getting the form to open. A recent Microsoft security update in SP3 disables portions of forms. I found that calling for an OFT either through a shortcut or user created toolbar button did not work after updating Office 2003 from SP2 to SP3. The forms do open by using the Tools | Forms...Choose Form command even with SP2 and SP3. This issue fixes shortcuts to OFT's.

Create the following keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
"AllowTNEFtoCreateProps"=dword:00000000
"AllowMSGFilestoCreateProps"=dword:00000001

How are you publishing the form? Organizational Forms Library? You're incrementing the version each time you publish, right?

Personal Forms Library - this is in developmental mode and is only sent from my Outlook to my Outlook.

And, what? Sorry but all I do is simply go to Publish. There are no options offered nor available; it seems to act just like Save. I presume this is wrong then (oh don't I sound the newbie!) )

There is a version number field in the form. You need to increment that number each time you publish. Otherwise, newer versions aren't loaded (once the production use begins)
