Voting buttons (Outlook 2000) - any way to make them delete the vote mail once voted, please??

Adam Jones

Hi,

I have a problem whereby staff members are excessively clicking vote
buttons either by accident or to try and fiddle the results by sending
multiple responses. I was wondering whether it is possible to have a voting
button delete the message once clicked (as happens upon acceptance of a
meeting request), at all? If not do you have any other thoughts on how I
might get around this issue, please?

Many thanks in advance,

Adam J.

It can be done with code behind the form in the CustomAction event handler, but that will be an option only if you're publishing these voting button messages as custom forms to the Organizational Forms library.

Sue,

Thank you very much for the response. As the broadcast message I'm
particularly concerned about is a one-off event, publishing it to the OF
library should be fine. I actually haven't done a great deal of Outlook
programming (need to buy your book! :)) so I'll have a fish around on
Google/MSDN and see if I can find some inspiration on 'CustomAction'.

Thanks again - much appreciated.

You could teach them what happens when they vote more than once. It won't
diddle the vote - just annoy you with a lot of email. If they vote again
and change their choice, opening the new response will change their vote,
not add it to the tally.
