Form Question

[Guest]

Hi all,

I had a quick question regarding something I want to do in Outlook 2003
forms. I have a form set up that has a custom Send button which sends the
form to a specific person. I was wondering if there is any way that once the
Send button is pressed the receiver of the form will see a textbox/dialogbox
come up (only for the reciever, the sender does not see it). Is this
possible in Outlook 2003?

You could use a MsgBox statement to show a message box to the sender, but all the recipient will see is the sent message.

I need it to be a textbox that is attached on the form. So that the
recipient of the message can enter something into it.

That's not going to work unless this is a form for internal use only and you have permission to publish forms to the Organizational Forms library. In that case, you can put a text box on a custom form page.

Ok this is what I have so far once the custom send button is clicked. I
wanted to know if there is anyway that only the recipient can see the message
box on their side. (The message box is inside the frame per the code below
and the frame is initially set to visible=false)

Set k = myPage1.Controls("Frame9")
k.visible = true

Ok, so I just modified the READ Page and it seems to be doing what I want.
In the compose page I have it set to invisible and on the read page I have it
set to visible.

Yes, it will be published in the org forms library.
