Default Issue with returnable form

The "Send form definition with item" box is an obsolete setting that no
longer has any utility. It should always be unchecked. If it was previously
checked and you unchecked it, you must republish the form.

The value of the MessageClass property determines what form Outlook will use
to display the item. You set the form display name and message class when you
published the form. You can see these message class values for individual
items by adding the Message Class field to a table view.

Did you make sure that the form was published with the "Send form

Have now! Didn't before. What does this mean, please?

Is the button actually named "btnReturn" to match the name of the Click event handler?


Yes. Double checked by yes! )

Does the
item show the MessageClass value of your published custom form, i.e. IPM.Note.Something?


Pardon? Sorry but where is this, what is this and why? Oh I feel like I'm
regressing! )

Have you tried adding MsgBox statements to the code to get a better idea of what's executing?


Have throughout this form. Just would like a response at some time.

I am incredibly grateful for all your help, by the way.

Thanks Sue.

However, this still takes me back to my original problem then.

I publish the form to the Organisational Forms Library, I then File New
Choose Form... and select my form. I complete the active elements (the form
is made up of enabled and disabled elements, which I may simply remove) and
then send it to myself (for checking purposes).

The form arrives with the completed fields correct and I am able to add to
the newly enabled fields. However, when I click on the button...nothing.
Diddley squat. Zilch.

I can repeatedly click and nothing happens at all. I'd expect the message to
close and a new message appear (since I was the sender) but... nothing!

Why not? The Network Manager has confirmed that macros are enabled by
default and that I have full, administrative permissions on the library.
