forwarding custom contact forms

[Guest]

Hi There,

I created a custom contact form in Outlook to use as a lead tracking system
for my business. When I try to forward (email) a contact which is entered
into the custom form to another person in the office - even if they have the
custom form installed on their computer - the custom form that I emailed
shows up as the standard form with no custom fields. Does anyone have any
advice on how to get the custom form with all its field to another computer
via email?

Thanks,

Nina

The other person will also need access to the published form definition. Where is the form published? They may need to publish the contact form to their own Personal Forms library using exactly the same name for it as you did.

Hi Sue,

We published the form on the receiving computer as well. I'm not sure if
they have the same name though. I will check that tomorrow and let you know.
Thanks!

Hi Again Sue,

I checked the other computers in the office that are running Outlook 2003
and the custom form that I am trying to email them has the same name on their
computers as the one I'm sending them from my computer. Do you have any
other ideas?

Thanks so much!

Nina
