Hi,

I have written a custom form in which users have to insert the names of
users who will need to approve their request.

I do not want to have these people CC'ed in on the email, due to a ticket
number having to be assigned from a seperate system.

What I would like to do is to be able to select users from the GAL, and not
have a copy of the email sent to them.

Is this achievable?

thanks in advance.

Rick.

Yes, it's possible, but not necessarily easy. You can use code such as that at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/selectnames.htm to return information from the user's address book picks, unconnected to the recipients of the current item. However, unless you use Redemption instead of CDO 1.21, the user will get security prompts.
