Default Outlook 2003 - form not showing fields

Good Afternoon,
I am using Outlook 2003 and I have created the form, saved the form. The
form has fields to fill in and a comment box that was the message box. I have
it on my desktop and when I open it, it looks great however when I test it by
filling the required information then send to myself the form and information
is not returned to me. What I get back is only any information that is put
into the comment/message box, none of the other info comes to me.

I had the same form in 2000 and it was stored by me and my colleagues on our
desktops and it all worked fine, is this not true for 2003?

Thanks,

Default Outlook 2003 - form not showing fields

No, this is not true for Outlook 2003. To exchange data using message forms, you and your colleagues will each need to publish the form to your Personal Forms library, all giving it the same form name/message class.

Default Outlook 2003 - form not showing fields

Sue - note that Ynez is sending the message to him/herself and still not
seeing the form fields. Shouldn't that take care of the library access issue?

I'm having the same problem and tried a number of fixes. The message is
correct in Sent box, but no form fields when received in Inbox. In my case I
have yet to get a form to work as well.

Thanks - Ken

Default Outlook 2003 - form not showing fields

Not necessarily. The key point is the access to the published form definition. That means:

a) The form must be published to a place where Outlook can locate it.
b) It must not have the "send form definition with item" box checked on the (Properties) page in design mode.
c) The item must be created with the published form, not an .oft file copy.

Forms that are saved as .oft files will not run the code required to save the
data into custom Outlook fields. Consequently, only the entries into the
message field will appear.

You should publish your form to your personal forms library, uncheck the send
form with message box, and check the always send message using rtf box or
drop-down list entry.

Paul and Sue,

Thanks for responding.

I must have missed the part where the message must be moved from the Inbox
to the folder location where the form is published. Doing so allowed the
message to be viewed with the form fields.

The original message was created with a published form and the properties
for sending the definition as you have noted.

If you publish the form to the Personal Forms or Organizational Forms library, it will be usable in any folder.

Default Outlook 2003 - form not showing fields

Hey All,
We tried those three suggestions of publishing the form, unchecking "the
send form definition with item" and keeping it as a published form rather
than an oft. we also tried some other suggestions such as to disable the
"seperate read page" option under the forms tab in design mode. Any other
suggestions?
Thanks For your Help!
