Custom Form - read-only fields
Hello,
I’m developing a custom Outlook 2003 form in my enterprise for requesting a certain service to be made. One user will request the service by filling up certain fields of a form and a 2nd user will receive this request a reply to it, filling up other fields, saying if it’s possible to be done, by what date, etc. The problem I have is that when the 2nd user replies, he’s able to change the values inserted by the firs user, and I don’t what that to happen. How can I prevent this from happening? I’m using a message. I’ve tried with a task, but the problem remains. Thank you for your help. Studer

Custom Form - read-only fields
You could put code in the Item_Reply event handler to set certain controls on the reply message to be read-only. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38 if you need information on how to work with controls in your code.

Custom Form - read-only fields
No way of doing this without VBA code, that's what you are saying Sue, right?
Now I'm in trouble... Thank you very much. Studer "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You could put code in the Item_Reply event handler to set certain controls on the reply message to be read-only.

Custom Form - read-only fields
VBA would be way more complicated that what I suggested, which is using VBScript code behind the form.
Another approach would be to use multiple forms, each for a different step in the process, with different controls set as read-only. That might be a nightmare to maintain and update. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Studer" wrote in message ...

Custom Form - read-only fields
Multiple forms and "Read only" attribute Is the way for me! I took me only 10
min to put it all in shape and working perfectly. It's a very simple form, so no updates needed for a looong time. Thank you very very much Sue!
