Default Sending to specific recipients, field populates with time/date?

I have created a form and used the "To..." button to make one big
button that, when clicked, is sent to three members of my team.
Unfortunately, it is not working that way. I set the initial value of
the field to my email address, but when the form is ran (both as an
..oft file and as a published form) it autopopulates as time and date
and brings up the address selection book. I am using Outlook 2003, has
anyone ran across this? I am brand new at form creation and i am sure I
am just missing it somehow.
thanks!!!

What's the exact formula (with the address munged, of course)?

Could you explain a bit more clearly what this "one big button" does?

As I am not sure what you mean by "formula", I am probably in over my
head. I basically created a "To.." button that the caption reads
"Click here to send". In the value tab I set the initial value of the
field to my address. This is all shown when I right click.
I have a feeling you are slapping your head and groaning at my
inexpertise....

What you set was a formula for the initial value. Obviously, you didn't set it literally to my address. We need to see the literal and complete text of the formula. Copy and paste it into your response, then edit it as necessary to avoid exposing your real email address.
