Default Setting or adding data to a form field

Code behind the custom form -- to work with the Recipients collection -- would be appropriate only if you're planning to publish it and send only to internal recipients. Tell us more about how this form will be used.

Hi,

I'd like to set the TO field to fixed, non-editable destinations that will need
to be updated from time to time. It will be a read-only field to the form user.

CC on the other hand needs to be preset, but allow the user to add to it, but
ideal, not remove any of the preset CC values.

I've been skimming around ch. 15-19 of the excellent book "Microsoft Outlook
Programming: Jumpstart for Administrators, Developers, and Power Users" and
figured out that I can set the value "formula" to the string that I want in
double quotes like, "John Doe". I need the SUBJECT to be fixed and
unchangeable, unless they later want to edit the form.

I can set the TO field and make it read only. However I can use the CC button
to update the CC field AND to add or change the TO field which I want fixed.

Is there a better way to set the values of these fields and restrict the ones
that I don't want to change?

I had also thought of splitting the CC field so a label shows the fixed
addresses that are then always added to whatever's in the CC field, if I can
figure out how to do that. LOL.

Thanks,
Mark
