Form Question
 

I am new to forms. What I would like to do is create a form to send to
someone who has a request. They would fill out their information and hit
"send"? The form would go to HR, who would approve the request and hit
"send"? Then it would go to the final authourity who would approve the
request, then "send" to me. I would print the form with all the information
I need and approving authorities. That would be slick. HR, final authority
and myself are fixed so it would be nice to have the form self adddress
itself along the way.

Thanks in advanced

Fred

Whether that's even possible depends largely on whether you are working with Exchange as your mail server and can get permission to publish a form to the Organizational Forms library on the Exchange server. If you can't, then an Outlook form can't be the solution for your scenario.

Yes, you should discuss with your Exchange administrators whether they have established an Organizational Forms library and whether you can get permission to publish forms there. The reasons you need that permission are (a) your scenario requires code behind the form, (b) code runs only on published forms, and (c) message forms for global use need to be published to Org Forms.

Alternatives to Outlook forms might include using InfoPath or Exchange workflow.
