Found a couple of weird bugs in a Task Reqest I am
writing.

Running Outlook 2003 on XP Pro with Dell M60 laptop

Bug #1 Datetime user-defined fields not saved.
I placed several user-defined fields in my custom Task
Request Form. There are also numeric and text fields as
well. When you instatiate the form and fill it out, then
send it all the data is present. When you receive the TR
and open the form none of the DateTime fields retain the
filled in values but all the other field types do. If you
then fill in the fields again and save the form the
fields are retained on further openings. Whatever I seem
to do the fields are only retained on save but no on send.

Workaround: Made all the Date Fields into Text Fields and
works OK.

Bug #2 Send event is not fired in VB Script but Write
event fired twice.

Same customer TR Form. To replicate design a TR form and
insert the following VB Script

Function Item_Send()
MsgBox "Send"
End Function

Function Item_Write()
MsgBox "Write"
End Function

when you hit the send button the Send MsgBox does not
appear but the Write Msg box appears twice. Hope this bug
may be related the previous bug but could be just to typo
in the event code. Test works fine in a Message form.

Am I the first to notice this? I can't find anything on
TechNet or Google.
