Ok, first of all thank you for your quick reply and help.

Let me explain the situation. We have different companies with all there own
domain name. We have a Small Business Server 2003 which handles all our
email. So I have and as an emailaddress.

We used Ivasoft software to be able to send from those different
emailadresses. You get a From:-field where you have to type
to send from this address.

I also made a stationairy for each company. In an Outlook template I
combined the stationairy with that companies emailaddress in the From-field.
This is done so its easy for people that work here and they won't make a
misstake. Clients may not know CompanyA belongs to CompanyB and vice versa.

But I want to automate the From-field initial value, because else I have to
make a template for each individual that works here. The emailaddresses are
like .

I hope you understand what I'm trying to achieve and you have a solution.

Kind regards,

Lars

To do that in a custom form would require custom code, which wouldn't run in an .oft template and wouldn't be an appropriate solution for messages being sent to external recipients.

Maybe you could provide a more detailed description of your scenario and goals.

Hi,

I want to set the inital value of a From field to

Is this possible? I made an email template in Outlook which shows the from
field. Then I can set the initial value to , but I want
Outlook to check the username logged in and put that in front of the @.

Hope my explanation is clear and somebody can help me.

Kind regards,
