Hi please please please help me!

I want to create an order form in Outlook 2000.
I have based this on a message template so that I can send
it to our suppliers by email.

I have set up a trial one in personal forms library and
then I send it to a test email address in house, but when
it is received, it is the read window and is blank.
My information is on the Compose window - what can I do so
that my recepient can see all my check boxes option
buttons etc..?????

Flabbegasted Ann from Ireland.

Many thanks
 
Hi Ann,

Try this:

1. Go back into Design mode for your form you created.
2. Click on Form, then click on "Separate Read Layout." There should be a
check beside this. Click Yes when a dialog box pops up.
3. Click on the Properties tab.
4. Click the checkbox for "Send form definition with item."
5. Re-publish the form to your Personal Forms Library.
6. Re-send a test message and see if the Read page has your custom items.

One more thing - if you have text boxes that you're filling with data, then
you really need to create a new user-defined field and bind that textbox to
the new field to hold that data permanently - otherwise the textbox fields
will be blank when the recipient gets your email, regardless whether your
form gets through or not...

Hope this helps...
