Outlook doesn't provide any direct waty to do that. You might ask the Ivasoft folks if they can help out.

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,

Lars
