Form but we do not have organization form library
 

Hi expert

I want to create a form but I have no idea where to publish my form. Our
company has disabled all the public folders & organization form library. I
want to publish the form on the Intranet so everyone in the company can
access the form by just one simple click. Anyone here has some good advices?
I have tried to save it as .oft but it didn't work. Then I tried develop a
form using html with submit via email. But the result is not ideal.

You didn't say what kind of form this is or what its purpose is, so all I can do is offer the general advice that you'll need to send the form as an .oft or .fdm file to each user, along with instructions on how to open and publish it to the Personal Forms Library. Since it's unlikely that every user will be able to do that successfully, you might need to reconsider whether an Outlook form is an appropriate solution for your scenario.

The form is for internal service request. We do not want to ask every user
to follow a list of instructions before they can use the form. Is there a
way to add a script that makes the form work automatically.

The FormDescription object has a PublishForm method. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/distributeform.htm

But you'll still have to give the users instructions, if just to tell them how to find and run the script.
