Bcc field showing date??

Hi,

I have created a form and published it to the
Organisational Library and this works fine. The only
problem I have is the "BCC" and "FROM" field.

I have set these values to an e-mail address but when the
form runs the value appears as todays date followed by
the time (27/04/04 08:00), needless to say it doesn't
recognise the names in the address list.

Why is this happening?

Mike.

Outlook ignores any From value when you publish a form, so let's concentrate
on the Bcc field. Exactly how are you setting its value?

Sue,

It's an honor to have you reply to my query. I'm new to
exchange agents and Outlook forms and have read articles
by you. In particular this one,
http://www.winnetmag.com/MicrosoftE...utlook/Article/
ArticleID/4855/4855.html about "Implementing a Group
Mailbox or Public Folder" I was so impressed by the many
articles on this site I have ordered your book: Microsoft
Outlook Programming.

I have followed the steps for using Public Folders and it
all works except the bit about the FROM and BCC fields,
like I say, I get a time and date showing instead of the
smtp address I have specified.

When designing the form I added the BCC and FROM fields
to the main 'message' tab using the FIELD CHOOSER
toolbox. I went to properties for each of these fields,
then value tab, and set the initial value to the email
address of the public folder, then saved and published
the form to the organisational forms library.

When I open the form again and choose 'design form' I can
look at the (all fields) properties and I see the date
and time against the BCC and I see 'Sent of behalf of
date and time' against the FROM field.

Is this a permissions problem? Thanks in anticipation
for looking at this problem.

Mike.

Try running the form, setting the Bcc and From fields to the PF address, and
then republishing the form with a new version number.

BTW, the From address may not "stick" on a published form. In that case,
you'll need to enter it manually each time you want to send "from" the
folder.

Sue,

I tried this but it didn't work. I tried entering my
email address instead of the address of the PF but that
showed a date and time too. So then I tried leaving the
BCC and FROM fields blank. When the form ran is still
had the date and time fields in. I'm definately doing
this right as I'm incrementing the version number each
time and it's alway loading the latest form.

I can't see what else is a factor here.

Mike.

On the Value tab of the Properties dialog for the Bcc control, what values
do you see for:

Choose Field

Sue,

I see this:

type: recipient
format: text (greyed out)
property to use: blank (greyed out)
value: blank (greyed out)

None of these options are changeable.

Mike.

Baffling. I have no idea what's causing this or how to fix it. If it were my
project, I'd start over with a new custom message form.
