I have a form with some frames. When I choose a checkbox for a specific
frame to show up, all of them show up for the recipient. My sample code is
listed below:

custompropertyChange.....
select case....

Case "field2"
strMyProp2 = Item.UserProperties("field2")
If strMyProp2 = True Then
Set myinspector = Item.GetInspector
Set myPage1 = myInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2")
Set frmCheckData = myPage1.Controls("Frame4")
Set chkNeedCheck = myPage1.Controls("CheckBox35")
frmCheckData.Visible = true

Set myinspector = Item.GetInspector
Set myPage1 = myInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2")
Set frmCheckData3 = myPage1.Controls("Frame5")
'frmCheckData2.visible = false
frmCheckData3.visible = false
Set chkNeedCheck3 = myPage1.Controls("CheckBox36")
'chkNeedCheck2.enabled = false
chkNeedCheck3.enabled = false
else
strMyProp2 = false
Set myinspector = Item.GetInspector
Set myPage1 = myInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2")
Set frmCheckData = myPage1.Controls("Frame3")
Set chkNeedCheck = myPage1.Controls("CheckBox34")
frmCheckData.Visible = false
end if
End Select
End Sub
 
Did you try what I suggested in my response to your other post on this issue?

Yes, I do have the Item_open to initialize the frames. But outside of that
function I have the customPropertyChange function.
 
Actually, its much simpler than what I had sent before. Basically, I have
all my fields bound. If I hide a bound frame with data inputted into it.
Will the "hide" persist to the recipient. Because that is what I need help
with.
 
Does the recipient have access to the published form definition? If not, code won't run.

No. When the recipient opens the item, it will display with the UI that is on the original form design.

Yes. Send form definition is enabled.

That's not what I meant. The recipient must have access to the published form definition. Checking the "send form definition with item" box does not do that. In fact, it does just the opposite: It embeds the form definition in the item, so that it is disconnected from the published form and will not run code for the recipient.

If you want code to run, "send form definition with item" must be unchecked and the form must be published to the Organizational Forms library or to each sender and recipient's Personal Forms library.
