I'm getting the notion that I should be able to save my file as an
.oft file during the "publish" process? or in design view? tried to
see an option for saving as an .oft extension but couldn't
If it's a message form, you won't be able to save it as an .oft file unless you've turned off Word as the email editor before opening the form in design mode (Tools | Forms | Mail Format).
Saving as an .oft file is used mostly to make backups, BTW.
............. is it the same thing as when saving in a .pst format???
No, an .oft file is a single item. A .pst file is a group of folders, each containing items.
I noticed from another post that you had mentioned it doesn't really
matter where you save the backup .oft file to ------ so anywhere in
harddrive or even a 3 1/2 floppy? (oh- i published the form to
"personal forms library"
A file is a file. Put it somewhere you'll remember where it is.
#2 I dragged and dropped "distribution list name" into the
form........
Where did you drag "distribution list name" from? What kind of form are you creating (contact, mail, etc.).
I imagine this will simply make visable whatever list name
I choose to add a person to (when creating/ managing a list) without
having to add any sort of value to the field.........
is there a way, if in the future an email is in error, or moves,
ect..... to simply (simalar process to catagories, sort of) check or
uncheck a person from the DISTRIBUTION LIST within the form view to
unsubscribe them from a list??
any metyhods to do this would be wonderull
Nope. What you want to do is not possible with a simple form. And, IMO, distribution lists are dead ends to be avoided except for very small lists that change no more than once or twice a year.
