I have created a custom form with two checkboxes. I have published the form
in my Personal Forms Library. I have created fileds for these checkboxes so
they are bounded. When I send the form to my self I get a normal message not
the one with check boxes. I did put the same checkboxes in "Edit Read Page".

When I open the message from the sent folder I can see the checkboxes but
not when I open it from Inbox. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You may think you have the same check boxes in the Edit Read Page, but if
you go check the names, you will find that the control names have been
changed because you cannot have two controls with the same name. It
automatically changes the name by adding a 1 to the end of the control you
are pasting into the read page.

To make auto-loading work as advertized, you must design the common elements
of the form in un-split mode, then split the form into compose and read
forms. Then you design those elements of the read page that are not on the
compose page, and vice versus.

But, if you want the same check boxes on both pages, and that is the extent
of your customization, aside from the associated fields, then you should not
be using a split form.

So, scrap this first version, and go back to the design environment and do
the next version. Remember the first rule in design--always throw away the
first version; and maybe the second and third, also.

What do you see when you open the item from the Inbox? Does the Help | About This Form dialog give you the correct form name and version number?

It displays it as a standard message with no checkboxes and it does not even
have About this Form Dialog. But, if I go to sent Folder it does display the
check boxes and has "About this Form Dialog".

Sounds like your mail server could be stripping TNEF/RTF content. You should be able to confirm that by sending to a Gmail address or an an account that you can read in Outlook Express and then looking at the message to see whether it has a Winmail.dat attachment.

Hi, I made a custom form, and when I send the form i can't see the checkboxes even the textboxes. When I open the form in the sends folder I see everything but when I open the form I send to my self in the inbox folder, I see a normal mail... I can see anything. I have not administrator permission on this computer

Plz Help Me!!!!

Notice in the Design toolbar: the Edit Compose Page is where you design the
form that the sender sees. And the Edit Read Page is what the recipient sees.

Hope that helps.

To add to Sandi's statement, very few applications of custom forms require
separate read and send pages. So, the first step in the design of a new form
should be to uncheck the Separate Read Form (or however it is stated on the
drop-down menu--it might be the Forms menu).

If you did make the mistake and put everything you want on the send page, you
can copy your custom design from that page and uncheck the Separate Read Page
choice. It will warn you that you may lose your design. Say OK, anyway. If
you design disappears from what you are looking at, then just paste what you
copied. You don't want to paste it before you dump the Separate read page, or
it will change the names of all your variables and controls, so as not to
conflict with what currently exists.
