Default Flag status now shown correctly with custom form

Hi group!

I created a custom form (based on IPM.Note) that only has one additional
control. I also used the Form manager to set a new default form for mail
messages. Now mailing works fine, but the field "Flag status" does not show
the correct state. If I forwad a message or reply to a message i do not have
the correct symbol!

Anyone an idea?

best regards

andy

Default Flag status now shown correctly with custom form

THis is normal behavior, one of many consequences of using a custom message form.

Default Flag status now shown correctly with custom form

Hi Sue!

Does not sound very good..

Is this a behavior we do not have any influence or is there a workaround?

Is there a way to open the custom Form via VBA Code - so I could place a
button on a command bar to create custom mails..?

Thanks in advance

My assumption is that you're not talking about flag status but about the symbol that indicates that a message has been replied to or forwarded. THere is no workaround for that.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/launchform.htm for form launch ideas.

Note that using a published custom message form to send mail to external recipients is a very bad idea, causing frustration or worse for non-Outlook recipients.

Hi Sue!

Yes you're right - I am talking about the symbol indicating the forward or
reply.. - Bad that there is no workaround..

Just another question - how would you solve my problem: I have to
auto-archivate messages in public exchange folders - so I create a public
folder for every project and my idea was to add an extra control in which
the users insert the project number - with this information I could copy the
sent message to the public folder. Do you have another approach?

best regards

andy

If these are external messages, use a COM add-in to prompt the user to insert the project number and copy the message.

Hi Sue!

Is there a good way to detect if it is an external message?
