No settings are involved. Maybe it's time you showed some code and explained whether you're writing code behind the form or in some other environment.

Dirtying the Subject property should work.

Is there a way to force a form as "dirty" so Outlook attempts to save
it if someone clicks the 'X'?

I am changing the HTMLBody and even a custom field but the if I click
the 'X' then the form closes without saving. If I change any field
using the GUI then it does ask to save if I press the 'X'.

I have code that tells me if the form is dirty. Should I add something
in the Item_Close event and force the save at that point?

Thanks

I was attempting to use the Milage property to no effect. I tried the
subject and that did not work either. I even put the subject field on
the form and can watch it change but Outlook still thinks it is a
"clean" form.

Interestingly, if I dirty the subject field manually through the GUI
then the form becomes dirty. Form some reason changing a custom or
builtin property through code is not dirtying the form. Only if I do
it throught the GUI.

I am probably missing something simple here. Maybe a setting on the
form?

Thanks
