Dear All,

I have a to design a workflow that consists of cascaded forms as follows:
- Fomr 1, initiated with filling customized fileds to Receiver 1.
- Form2,
- Fomr 3,
- Form 4,
- Form 5

Form1 is the main form where the custom fileds are filled.
Form2 -Form 5, having sam disabled fields of Form1.
With an additional enabled filed for commets only (to describe the reason
for Approval or rejection)

My question, How can I keep a notification messages per each step once
transmitted from one Form to the following One.

I need to keep the originator sender notifird of the whole steps.



Regards,
 
In the event handler for whatever event you're using the launch the next form (your post did not go into those details), put code to also create a notification message.
 
Please note that I'm depending on a custom Action,
To control the flow from Form to another! Till now I have not used any code.

My question what is the code to create a notification?
And how to know the email of the previous senders(cascaded parent & child)?
 
Then you'll put that code in the CustomAction action event handler. Use the Application.CreateItem method to create a new message.

As for addresses, a lot depends on the environment where you're using this application -- Outlook version, whether Exchange is always the mail account, etc.

May you provide a more details sample.. examples..

Not, I'm using the Outlook 2003, and the exchange is always the mail
account. for the current stage.
Thanks
 
I'd prefer to take it one issue at a time, so you can pick up the bits that are puzzling you. Is there a particular question you want to start with?
