Hi - I am not a programmer but have an idea how to create boxes, dropdown
lists etc on a form. I would like to create a form based on an email message
as an enquiry form to send to my customers. I am trying this and then
publishing and saving into Standard Forms library but when I send to my
colleague all they see is the acutal standard message template???

Can you help me please

Many thanks
 
For this to work each recipient would have to have that form published in
their Outlook. And if you intend to send any of these over the Internet that
presents special problems.
 
I am trying to do this also. I have created a form based on the message
template. It has a few controls and I have created necessary data links to
retain the information.

However, when I send a message based on this new form, some recipients can
see it (and use) and intended, some cannot!

I used Outlook 2007 to create the form, Outlook 2003 and 2007 are target
users. There seems to be no correlation between versions. The form was not
"prepublished" to any recipients Outlook, only a message sent.

any ideas??

To clarify:

The form/message is not being sent (for lack of better term) "willy-nilly"
ove the internet. It is being sent within company walls. Some users within
the company can see the form correctly, some do not. The issue does not seem
to follow a pattern that I can see...

Our IT staff is rather mystified and have not proposed any alternate
solutions.

If using forms is not the preferred solution, can you recommend a better
solution?
 
If the forms are being sent internally and are published then everyone who
has access to the published form should see it. If not the forms cache is
corrupted or there are permissions or access problems to Org Forms.
