Hi
I need to do a custom form. It will have the users click a checbox next to
dates they cannot attend events.
I was going to type a text field for each day number and put a check box
next to it.
I then want them to click a send button to send the form back to me.
I am not sure of the way to do the send button so that it automatically
addresses to me . Sorry if thi s is basic but i am just starting out.
Using outlook 2002 on exchange server.
nb the invitiation stuff in the calendar will not work for this
thanks

In addition I am trying to add code to a command button using the method in
an Outlook 2002 book which says double click the command button to get the
code window. I'm double clicking the button, but nothing happens; am i
missing something?

Kim, is this a User Form designed through the Outlook VBA editor, or a custom
Outlook form based on one of the standard item types (an e-mail message,
meeting request form, contact, etc.)?

If this is a User Form, then yes - you can double-click the CommandButton
(and other controls that implement events) to display the code editor with an
automatic stub for the control's event automatically created.

However, if this is a custom form, you have to choose "View Code" from the
"Form" menu to view the Script Editor window. The "Event Handler" item from
the "Script" menu has a similar event stub creation mechanism as VBA User
Forms, but for controls you have to manually type the event:

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Your code here
End Sub

Assuming that this is a custom form, if you want to automatically address
the outgoing message, set the Item.To property. You can do this in a button
click event, but Item_Open or Item_Send are other good places.

You should also be aware that there are a lot of considerations that you
should take into account when dealing with sending custom forms, especially
over the Internet. This page summarizes the top issues:
