I've created a custom form. When I send the form to someone if they hit
reply they lose the form without data. If they hit forward then the form
will appear and they can enter in the data. Is there a way for me to change
the form so that it will do the same function as forward when the user hits
reply? Thanks for your help.

If you want the user to see a custom form when they reply, you need to set the Reply action on the (Actions) page to use the desired published custom form.

I appreciate your quick response Sue. I've been on the action tab changing
settings but I have not been able to accomplish this for some reason. Here
are the settings I tried under the action tab:

Enabled - Yes
Action Name - Test
Creates form of type - (The name of form that I'm sending)
Address form like - Reply
When Responding - Include original message text
Prefix-

I do not see the form when I send this. Please let me know if you can
provide further assistance. Thank-you.

Where is the form published? It must be in the Organizational Forms library or in each replying user's Personal Forms library.

Currently I have not posted the form in the Organizational Forms library. I
am testing the form and sending from my e-mail address to my e-mail address.
Although the form is stored in my Personal Forms Library I still see the same
behavior. Does it have to be in the Organizations Forms Library for the
"reply" option to include the form. I think it is strange the the "forward"
option does work. Thanks again for your assistance.

The form simply needs to be in one of the locations from which Outlook can load a message form -- Org Forms or Personal Forms.

Did you increment the version number and republish the form after you changed the Reply action setting?

I had it stored in personal forms so that isn't the problem. I hadn't
incremented the version number. I didn't even know what that was until I
looked it up. I did that and checked to make sure the settings I made were
in the form that I was using. The were. I'm pretty sure that everything is
working fine. Do you see the same results when you make a custom form? if
you send it to someone and they hit reply do you still see the form or is the
body of the e-mail blank? It acts like an attachment. If you reply to a
message with an attachment it is not there. If you forward an e-mail with an
attachment then it gets sent along. I'm stuck.

What the user sees depends on what the published reply form looks like and what settings are on the Reply action. Assuming you've now incremented the version number on the reply form, if you send yourself a new message using your custom form and then reply, does the Help | About Microsoft Outlook show the version number of the published reply form?

Forwarding behaves differently because it embeds a copy of the original item's form definition in the forward item (BAD!!) unless you set the Forward action to use the published custom form.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for all of your great ideas and leading me through this problem. I
was finally able to figure out what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize that
when I was on the actions menu I was creating my own buttons. I was actually
hitting the standard "reply" button. Not the "test" button that I created.
I was hoping there was a way for the users to use the "reply" button but I
guess that is not possible.

THanks again for your help!

Go back to the Actions page and edit the properties for the Reply action to use your custom form, just as you did the Test action.
