Manipulating the CC field in a custom form

[Dorian Clinton]

I have a New user request form that needs to be sent to
the applications group if a certain app is required. I
want to autopopulate the CC field w/a recipient if a
specific CheckBox control is checked (-1) on the form...
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from the
forms newbie.

Critical factors:

1) Will this be the only CC addressee or could there be others?
2) Outlook version?
3) Is the check box bound to an Outlook property or unbound?

In the meantime, you might find the information at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm and
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm useful.

The answers to your questions are as follows:
1) There will be only one recipient (either a single
person or a distro list depending on the group's
preference)
2) Outlook 2003 SP1
3) The checkbox is bound to a user defined field
[HlthPro], but no initial values are set, and no
validation formulae are set.

Thanks for your help,

Try this code in the Item_Send event handler:

Function Item_Send()
If Item.UserProperties("HlthPro") Then
Item.CC = "(e-mail address removed)"
End If
End Function
