There is no ribbon in Outlook 2003, only 2007.

Try it with a standard task form, it's the same thing.

You can only assign a task that was opened in your default Tasks folder.

Publish the form to Organizational Forms or Personal Forms and open it in
Tasks and the same form will work as expected (never publish in more than
one library though).

"formation" wrote in message

Hi

I'm new to Outlook forms, but have just about got the hang of it. The
problem I have is that I have designed a form which contains the To..
button
and To... text box and when I run the form from the designer using
Forms/Run
Form, the Assign Task button is present on the ribbon at the top and it
works
just fine.

However if I publish the form in a public folder, and then I or another
user
loads this form using Tools/Forms/Choose Form then the Assign button is
missing.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in anticipation....

Steve
