I send an Outlook custom form, but a std. form displays?
It's up to you to decide what you want to display on the read layout. It could be exactly the same as the compose layout, somewhat the same, or completely different.
However, if you want the user to see a certain layout on the *reply* item (the message created when they click reply), that's a different matter. The reply form that the user sees is set on the (Actions) page of the original form that you're using to create the items. The reply form must be published to either the Organizational Forms library or each user's Perseonal Forms library. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Michaelcip" wrote in message ... So I should copy what's in the Compose pg. & paste it onto the Read pg. then delete the std. Outlook message body so that I can read what I just pasted?! What I'm trying to do is create a form that an employee can be emailed, when they open it they can 'reply' to it containing the data that they typed into the form. Am I doing this right/wrong? Do you have any suggestions as to instructions how to create forms in Outlook. Thank-you, Michael "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: That's my point. If you have the form set up with separate compose and read layouts, then *you* must create the read layout to match the compose layout if that's what you want recipients to see. The alternative is to not use separate layouts, but I think if you try that, you probably won't like the results. "Michaelcip" wrote in message ... Thanks, but I'm trying to send my recipient what's on the design pg. (the actual form that I created) not the std. email (that gets displayed when I click the Edit Read Page) Michael "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Why don't you try it and see for yourself? If you click Edit Read Page, you'll see the layout for a received message. "Michaelcip" wrote in message ... I created a Custom form that has Yes/No, Text fields, drop-downs & it looks great, however when I send it, the recipient gets a standard email (or is it underneath???)? Should I be doing anything w/ the "Edit read page" view in the Design view??? Thank-you much, Michael |
