Default Best way to get data from Item before send?

In any open form you have 2 intrinsic objects you never have to declare or
instantiate: Item (the form) and Application (the Outlook.Application
object). So you don't use CreateObject to get a handle to
Outlook.Application, you use the intrinsic Application object of the form.

I did that; thanks for the advice.


Never use CreateObject to create a new Outlook.Application object in your
custom form code. Use the intrinsic Application object that is already
available to you.


Would the intrinsic Application object be the Form Item? Maybe I
misunderstand. It was my understanding that this would send the whole
form including the code and end up creating a pane warning on the
recipients' end, which I was trying to avoid (not sure who would want
that). Since I only need code on the sender's end I don't want to send
the whole form.
