Emailing Forms with Drop Down Boxes
When I email forms in Microsoft Outlook that I've created in Word that
contain drop down boxes the drop down boxes disappear when the recipient receives the email. How do I send a form that contains drop down boxes in Microsoft Outlook so that the boxes won't disappear?

Emailing Forms with Drop Down Boxes
You don't. Outlook + Word can't do that. Depending on who the audience for this form is, you might want to take a look at Microsoft InfoPath.

Emailing Forms with Drop Down Boxes
I was having the same problems and installed InfoPath. I created a form but
the same thing happens when I email the form. It shows up correctly when you open the email but when you reply to the email the formatting disappears. I don't know if I am doing something wrong in InfoPath, but I have been struggling with this for 2 weeks now. Matthew Schnidrig "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You don't.

Emailing Forms with Drop Down Boxes
Generally, you don't reply to an InfoPath form. You use the Submit button on the form. I'm sure an InfoPath newsgroup can provide more guidance.

Emailing Forms with Drop Down Boxes
Sue,
I'm not familiar totally with InfoPath. If we used it to create the forms. Then would all the users have to have it installed on their machine to view the forms??? Or do you use use InfoPath to create them and just just Outlook to send the forms? How does InfoPath and Outlook work together.

Emailing Forms with Drop Down Boxes
That depends on the version of InfoPath and just how you're using it. (There is more than one approach.) Again, I'd suggest that you take this topic to an InfoPath group.
