I am new to Outlook forms and was looking to create a button in a message
that would save, send, and close the message after the person has filled in
some fields on the page.

I have read some material on doing command buttons, but have been unable to
get it to work right. I am probably missing something simple.

Thanks

Peter

If the button is named CommandButton1, then the code for it to do what you describe would be simply:

Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Item.Send
End Sub

Item is an intrinsic object representing the item where the code is running.
