So, when you forward now, do you get the right version in Help | About This Form both on the original message and the new forward message? You could also try adding a ForwardItem.Display statement to the Forward event handler.

I added the verion and number in the properties tab. The item being
forwarded does not reside in a folder in another user's mailbox. I published
the form in the Organizational Forms Library.

For troubleshooting purposes, you should always apply a new version number on the (Properties) page of the form before you publishe a new version.

Does the item being forwarded reside in a folder in another user's mailbox?

To what forms library did you publish the form?

When I forward the form, I do not see anything in the Form Dialog box. The
Version, Form Number, and Contact are blank. I added a Msgbox to the script.
It now looks like this:

Function Item_Forward(ByVal ForwardItem)
ForwardItem.Bcc = "
MsgBox "This is a test"
End Function

I do not get prompted when I forward the form. What do you think?

When you forward an item, does its Help | About This Form dialog give you the correct and current name and version information for the form?

If you put a MsgBox statement in the Item_Forward event handler, does the message box show?

Thanks Sue. I tried what you recommended, but it still doesn't work. The
BCC fied/control has been removed from the form. I went into the
(Properties) tab and made sure the "Send form defnition with item" is
unchecked. I went into the (Actions) tab, double-clicked the Forward action
and in "This action creates a form of the following type", I pointed the Form
name: to my form. After that, I published the form once again. The code I
have is:

Function Item_Forward(ByVal ForwardItem)
ForwardItem.Bcc = "
End Function

You might have removed the control displaying the Bcc property, but you didn't remove the Bcc field. Removing a control just removes a control. It has no effect on the data.

Did you try what I suggested?

"teenzbutler" wrote in message news I deleted the BCC field, and published the form. I opened the form, clicked
the To: button, and the BCC field is populating with the old email address.
How is that possible without the BCC field in the form? Is there a cache
somewhere that I am not aware of? I assume you need a BCC field in the form
in order for the code to work. Isn't that correct?

I can't quite picture what you're doing, given that it is not possible to delete a standard field from any Outlook item.

The way to remove a recipient from a custom form is to run the form, remove the recipient, republish.

Thanks Sue. I am testing the code with a new email address. However, I have
one problem, I cannot remove the old email address within the BCC field. I
did not input the email address in the field below "Set the initial value of
this field to:" I manually entered it within the BCC field itself by editing
the field. Now when I try and remove the email address, it won't go away.
Even if I delete the BCC field and create a new one, the old address
re-populates. I went into Advanced Properties to remove it, but nothing
works. What am I doing wrong?

Put code in the Item_Forward event handler to set the Bcc property of the new forward message to the desired address:

ForwardItem.Bcc = "

Thanks for you reply. No, I did not set the initial value to this field.
Instead, I edited the field an manually inputted the email address. The
reason why I did it this way was because, when I checked the "Set the initial
value of this field to:" box, the users were unable to send the form. They
would get "Operation failed". It took me a while to figure out that it was
this setting that caused the problem. Even though I published the form to
the Organizational Library, it still would fail. Do you have any
suggestions?

"teenzbutler" wrote in message ...
I created a BCC: field so that a specific user is copied anytime the form is
submitted. I want that same person to be BCC-ed when the form is forwarded
as well. For some reason, I cannot figure this out. Does anyone have any
information on this?
