I have spent all day trying to get this to work and just don't know how to
get it to work.
I am working on a workflow form based on what I have learnt on the QVLWeb
site. It works mainly but I want to record the Senders name in the form at
point of sending so that it can be formally signed.
e.g. Form 1 is completed by user and I want to use the "From" field to
declare the form signed when the user sends it to their manager.
The Manager sees a Read view of Form 1, with the senders "From" field as
read only.
The Manager, when approing (using voting buttons) will then have their
"From" field used to record their signing on the form, whilst the original
users "From" field is also shown.

I assume I need to record the "From" fields in seperate fields - I have 3:
usersig, mgrsig, HRsig, as the "From" field will change as the workflow
progresses.

I can't see how to do this. Any ideas how this can be achieved.

Many thanks

Jeremy

In the send event handler you can save the item being sent first to populate
the fields and then read the SenderName and/or SenderEmailAddress
properties, if that's what you're asking. Be aware that SenderEmailAddress
may be blank so SenderName is a better bet.

If that's not what you want then please explain what you are looking for.
