Unable to Send the Custom Form

[Mahesh]

Hi,

well i have developed a custom form for a workflow
application using outlook 2000.
the application works jst fine on Service pack 1.
The moment i installed Service pack 3 of Office 2000, the
application stops working.

The following is the flow of the application.

1.The initiator request for a leave to his superiour.
2.The superior either accepts the request or reject it.

The application works jst fine till the initiator sends
the request to the approvar / superior.
But once superior gets the request, i have provided a
custom button on a form to accept/reject the request and
send one copy to the initiator and another copy of the
same form to a "Static ID" for storage purpose.

To make one more copy ( Object ) of the form, i am using
following code in outlook :

Set MyFolder = Application.GetNameSpace
("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set MyItem = MyFolder.Items.Add("IPM.Note.Leave Request")
Set ItmTRDesk = Application.CreateItem(0)

With MyItem
.To = Item.UserProperties("From")
.UserProperties("Name") = Item.UserProperties("Name")
.UserProperties("Empno")=Item.UserProperties("Empno")
.UserProperties("Designation")=Item.UserProperties
("Designation")
.UserProperties("Dept")=Item.UserProperties("Dept")
.UserProperties("Level")=Item.UserProperties("Level")
.UserProperties("TelNo")=Item.UserProperties("TelNo")
.send
Item.close 1
end with

After installing the Service pack 3, now if i click on the
Send command button, noting happens, no error jst nothing.

Please help, thanks.

If the form runs code when you use Run This Form in design mode, but doesn't run code after you have sent or saved an item using the form, you probably have done something to "one-off" the form. Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002, Outlook 2000 SP2 and Outlook 2000 or 98 with the Email Security Update will not run code on one-off forms; see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/secforms.htm for more information on this issue.

To ensure that a form does not one-off:

-- Make sure the "Send form definition with item" box on the (Properties) tab of the form is *not* checked. [1]

-- For in-house corporate use with Exchange Server, publish the form to the Organization Forms library or a public folder's forms library, as appropriate for your application.

-- For collaboration via the Internet, publish your form to your Personal Forms library. Save it as an .oft file and send it to other people who need to use it with instructions to publish it with the same form name that you used.

-- Make sure that any custom actions on the (Actions) page use published forms.

Many other things can cause one-off forms. If the above steps don't work on a new item created with your form, see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/formpub.htm#oneoff for other possible causes.

[1] Whenever you publish a message form, Outlook will suggest that you may want to check the "Send form definition with item" box to ensure that the recipient will have the form, especially if you're sending to someone via the Internet. In the current Outlook security environment, this suggestion is obsolete. Ignore it unless your form has no code behind it.
