Default Outlook 2003 - form not showing fields

Paul and Sue,

Thanks for responding.

I must have missed the part where the message must be moved from the Inbox
to the folder location where the form is published. Doing so allowed the
message to be viewed with the form fields.

The original message was created with a published form and the properties
for sending the definition as you have noted.

Not necessarily. The key point is the access to the published form definition. That means:

a) The form must be published to a place where Outlook can locate it.
b) It must not have the "send form definition with item" box checked on the (Properties) page in design mode.
c) The item must be created with the published form, not an .oft file copy.

Sue - note that Ynez is sending the message to him/herself and still not
seeing the form fields. Shouldn't that take care of the library access issue?

I'm having the same problem and tried a number of fixes. The message is
correct in Sent box, but no form fields when received in Inbox. In my case I
have yet to get a form to work as well.

Thanks - Ken

No, this is not true for Outlook 2003. To exchange data using message forms, you and your colleagues will each need to publish the form to your Personal Forms library, all giving it the same form name/message class.

Good Afternoon,
I am using Outlook 2003 and I have created the form, saved the form. The
form has fields to fill in and a comment box that was the message box. I have
it on my desktop and when I open it, it looks great however when I test it by
filling the required information then send to myself the form and information
is not returned to me. What I get back is only any information that is put
into the comment/message box, none of the other info comes to me.

I had the same form in 2000 and it was stored by me and my colleagues on our
desktops and it all worked fine, is this not true for 2003?
