My last reply failed to mention some basic parameters. I'm using
Office 2003, and am attached to an Exchange server (not sure of the
version). The form will not be published in a folder where people will
have access. I will be sending the form out to a number of people once
a week. Each person will enter data into a number of fields (progress
metrics - percentages between 0 and 100). Once complete, they will
click a Submit button, and the form will be emailed to my inbox
(haven't yet figured out this code). I'm a complete novice to Outlook
programming, but am enjoying what I've learned so far.

Thanks again for your help.

Exchange has an Organizational Forms Library where forms should be
published. That is where Outlook first looks for the form. You really
do not want to send the form to N individuals, because, when you change
it later, then you have to get those N individuals to delete the old
forms, and republish them. Learn to use the facilities that Exchange
makes available to you. You can control who has access to a form by
restricting the ACL of the form itself.

If you do not see the Organizational Forms Library on your list of where
to publish forms (it should be the very first one!), Then you will need
to have the Exchange Administrator create it or/and give you permissions
to write to it.

Hollis .. Thanks for the insight. My current situation does not allow
me to publish forms to the Organizational Forms Library. If so, this
whole process would most likely run smoother.
I've pretty much resolved the issues with data not showing up after the
message was sent. Originally, I just copied and pasted my controls
into a new Outlook form. Even though the controls appeared to be bound
to the user defined form, they weren't displaying the data. I went
thru each control, and re-bound the user defined fields. This seemed
to work.
My form is now sending all data, and the vbScript is running
successfully.

Again, I appreciate your time in helping me resolve my issues.
Hopefully, it's all downhill from here.

Thanks,
Boyd

The paste of controls is very flakey. Another problem is that if a
control of the same name is already in the form, the pasted control will
be given a different name. Another hard one to find.
