Please tell us more about who will be using this form -- senders and recipients -- and what mail account(s) they use. Your Outlook version may also be relevant.

I'm having the same problem.. I want to create a form template to be filled
by employees who will send to their supervisor... I have to have fields that are able to have alpha + numeric values (i.e. qq-1234-t) I createda template but only a few fields actually have values when I send the email... One field is a numeric field only and the date fields all work...

In that case, ask your Exchange administrator if you can publish your custom form to the Organizational Forms library. If not, you may have to ask each user to publish it to their own Personal Forms library. Going forward, InfoPath is a much better solution for this kind of data gathering than custom Outlook message forms. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sendform.htm for information on the common issues people encounter when working with custom message forms. To learn about Outlook properties, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from All Libraries to Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and events. Select any object or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic. Note that the "field" names shown in various parts of the UI don't always match the actual property names that you'll see in the object browser, but usually you should be able to puzzle out which is which. Feel free to come back here and ask if you're stumped. Functions are also documented in VBA Help. An easy way to look one up is to type the name of the formula into a VBA window, highlight it, then press F1. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "nilknarf" wrote in message ... senders and recipients -- and Outlook 2003 sp2 on exchange server.....

Any text field, built-in or user-created, can contain alphanumeric characters.
when I enter all data and send it to recipients only a few fields have data in them usally the quanity and date but those formulas are easy. Did you click the Edit Read Layout button and create a read layout with controls bound to the same fields as on the control layout? Unless you do this, Outlook has no way to know that you want to show the user the data from those fields. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "nilknarf" wrote in message ... that was great info... sorry if i'm an idiot but I would love to be able to understand the vb a little difficult for me...
