Thanks Sue. I am testing the code with a new email address. However, I have
one problem, I cannot remove the old email address within the BCC field. I
did not input the email address in the field below "Set the initial value of
this field to:" I manually entered it within the BCC field itself by editing
the field. Now when I try and remove the email address, it won't go away.
Even if I delete the BCC field and create a new one, the old address
re-populates. I went into Advanced Properties to remove it, but nothing
works. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for you reply. No, I did not set the initial value to this field.
Instead, I edited the field an manually inputted the email address. The
reason why I did it this way was because, when I checked the "Set the initial
value of this field to:" box, the users were unable to send the form. They
would get "Operation failed". It took me a while to figure out that it was
this setting that caused the problem. Even though I published the form to
the Organizational Library, it still would fail. Do you have any
suggestions?

I can't quite picture what you're doing, given that it is not possible to delete a standard field from any Outlook item.

The way to remove a recipient from a custom form is to run the form, remove the recipient, republish.

I deleted the BCC field, and published the form. I opened the form, clicked
the To: button, and the BCC field is populating with the old email address.
How is that possible without the BCC field in the form? Is there a cache
somewhere that I am not aware of? I assume you need a BCC field in the form
in order for the code to work. Isn't that correct?

Did you publish the form to the Organizational Forms library? Leave the "send form definition with item" box unchecked? Set the Forward action on the (Actions) page to use the published custom form? All those are necessary steps to get code to run on a forward item.

You might have removed the control displaying the Bcc property, but you didn't remove the Bcc field. Removing a control just removes a control. It has no effect on the data.

Did you try what I suggested?

BCC fied/control has been removed from the form. I went into the

When you forward an item, does its Help | About This Form dialog give you the correct and current name and version information for the form?

When I forward the form, I do not see anything in the Form Dialog box. The
Version, Form Number, and Contact are blank. I added a Msgbox to the script.
It now looks like this:

Function Item_Forward(ByVal ForwardItem)
ForwardItem.Bcc = "
MsgBox "This is a test"

I do not get prompted when I forward the form. What do you think?
