Default Email form not working

Hi,
I made the action in the "actions" tab in the design form view. It now shows
up as a "send survey" button in the toolbar when the email is in read view.
And the data does send back but the message doesn't close.

As for publishing the foms to the organizational forms library - I'm not
going to be able to do that without a lot of hastle because I require certain
permissions to be able to change or even open forms in the organizational
forms library. So if possible I just want to avoid going through that. Is
that a requirement of using the forms? Because it seems to send to people
fine I just can't seem to get the form to do exactly what I want because I
don't really understand the logic and programming.

Using Outlook 2003. I've created a form that I hope to use for an internal
survey with radio buttons and a comments area. Currently I have all of the
values being stored in the subject line and have created an action (send
survey) that sends the form back to me with the data the person entered in
the subject line. This appears to work however the email message does not
close after they have clicked the send survey button and the test people keep
sending the survey to me again and again.

I'm pretty new at this so if someone could either tell me how to script this
such that it closes when the button is pressed or direct me to a very easy
guide to making a form that when opened by the recipient has a command button
that will send me all the data (preferably in a message instead of the
subject line) - that would be much appreciated.
