Outlook forms
Anyone:
Ok..so I'm very new to the Outlook form design feature. First of all I've tried to make changes to one of my current forms and when I got back into it, the changes have not been made...does anyone know why? Also, I'm trying to setup my form so that the Account Name field value is referenced in the subject line when the e-mail is sent out so it will read: "Value Assurance Referral - [Account Name]" Does anyone know how to do this? There must be a way, but I'm new and dumb to this. Please help... Thanks, Brent

As with any "document," you have to save your changes in some fashion. You didn't say what you did with the form after you made changes and before you "got back into it." The correct approaches would be to either save the form as an .oft file or publish it.
The quotation marks in this formula: "Value Assurance Referral - [Account Name]" cause the entire text between the quote marks to be treated as a string literal. If I understand you correctly, you want to combine text with a field value. The syntax for that would be: "the text - " & [field_name] the ampersand, &, being the text concatenation character. -- 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 "BATBOI" wrote in message oups.com...

The format that I sent you was just to show you what I was trying to
achieve. I don't know where I'm supposed to enter this code you sent me. Like I said, I'm very new.

What you showed was a formula. You enter a formula in the Properties dialog for the control that displays the field whose value you want to set, on that dialog's Value tab, at the bottom of the dialog. You'll want to set it to always calculate automatically, not just for initial values.
