Using Outlook 2003. I've created a form that I hope to use for an internal
survey with radio buttons and a comments area. Currently I have all of the values being stored in the subject line and have created an action (send survey) that sends the form back to me with the data the person entered in the subject line. This appears to work however the email message does not close after they have clicked the send survey button and the test people keep sending the survey to me again and again. I'm pretty new at this so if someone could either tell me how to script this such that it closes when the button is pressed or direct me to a very easy guide to making a form that when opened by the recipient has a command button that will send me all the data (preferably in a message instead of the subject line) - that would be much appreciated. -J |

By "action," do you mean a custom action? Is the form published to the Organizational Forms library?

Hi,
I made the action in the "actions" tab in the design form view. It now shows up as a "send survey" button in the toolbar when the email is in read view. And the data does send back but the message doesn't close. As for publishing the foms to the organizational forms library - I'm not going to be able to do that without a lot of hastle because I require certain permissions to be able to change or even open forms in the organizational forms library. So if possible I just want to avoid going through that. Is that a requirement of using the forms? Because it seems to send to people fine I just can't seem to get the form to do exactly what I want because I don't really understand the logic and programming. -J "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: By "action," do you mean a custom action?

The additional functionality that you want to add would require code. Publishing to the Organizational Forms library is a requirement if you want to be able to run code behind the form.
