Default Outlook form - data in fields not being sent

I have read other posts about this but mine is slightly different. The form
in question works fine on other Windows XP machines, but when we use it from
a windows 2003 server, no text is being displayed once the form is sent.
There are no hidden security settings i know of, as these are pushed out via
GP, and all machines are in the same ou.
Is there something else im missing out on here?

Default Outlook form - data in fields not being sent

What version of Outlook? Where is the form published? If "no text is being displayed," what is being displayed? Does the Help | About This Form dialog show the correct version number for the form?

Using Outlook 2003; the form is published in the organisation forms library(
but i have also tried using it from the Personal forms library), When the
form is sent, and you view it from the Sent Items folder, the email sent is
showing as blank (none of the text that was input to the form is showing) Yes
when Help/About this form is displayed, the correct version of the form shows.

A little more detail about "showing as blank," please: If you put a sent item into design mode, do you see the data from your custom fields in the All Fields page? If so, then the problem might be that you didn't click Edit Read Page and create a read layout for your form design to display the data stored in the item.

Default Outlook form - data in fields not being sent

Hello,
When i put the form into design mode i do not see the text that was
initially input to the form. But when i select Form Run this form, i do see
th text.
The weird thing is, this works from other machines running Windows XP and
Windows 2003 server. This is a fresh build of a Windows 2003 server, with all
service packs installed and updated.

Sorry, but I don't understand. Putting a form into design mode and putting a sent item into design mode are not the same thing. The form is the layout/UI template. It contains no data. I'm interested in what the data is -- what the sent item can tell you with its All Fields page.

Did you bind all the data entry controls to Outlook properties? Clear the forms cache?
