form not closing
 

I have created a form and published it to a folder. When I run the form (for
test) it opens and I can enter information, then when I forward it to
someone, it sends, but the form stays open on my pc until I close it. Is
there a way for the form to close after it is sent just like we do when we
compose a mail message? I do not know any vb. Thanks,

The Close code Hollis suggests needs to go into the Forward event handler and should attempt to close the Inspector, not the Item, e.g.:

Function Item_Forward(ByVal ForwardItem)
Const olSave = 0
Const olDiscard = 1
Const olPromptForSave = 2
Set insp = Item.GetInspector
insp.Close olPromptForSave
ForwardItem.Display
End Function

You only need to use VBScript. But basically, after the Item.send is issued,
you want to do a Item.close(0), where the 0 means to save it first (I think.)
You should go to www.outlookcode.com and search for an example that shows
how to send Items by script.
