Default Outlook Form Regions

I must admin I'm not clear on what "test" I need to do to confirm this. It
is apparent that the data is being stipped out at some point so not sure how
to test where this happens.

No, it only tells you that the user properties are there now, not that they
were there and preserved the data that was sent. You need to test those user
properties without adding any new data to them.

The controls are bound to custom fields I created/user properties. And
when
I receive the meeting invite, I am able to type data into the Form Region,
save the calendar Item and exit Outlook. Open Outlook and re-open my
calendar Item and the data I entered remains. This tells me that the user
properties are preserved on the receiving end.

Get hold of a MAPI viewer such as OutlookSpy (www.dimastr.com) and review
the user properties at each step of the way. Or write a VBA macro to display
the user properties and check them each step of the way. The point is to
find out where you're losing the data, then you can start to figure out why.

Default Outlook Form Regions

As I mentioned earlier the data I enter on the IPM.Appointment form remains
on my side at least but it does not make it to the message going out on
IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request form.

Do you have a sample code to help me reference the form region from within
an Item_Send event and check the data before it goes out?

Thanks,

Rafael

No, I have no code like that. I don't even know if it's possible at all. I
haven't attempted to send out any items with form regions and seeing if the
form region or its data is preserved. In general I try to avoid that sort of
thing, too many things can go wrong.

I'm starting to get the hint Ken. I see why Sue gave up on this stuff some
years ago.

Well, is back to custom form then. Thanks for your help!

Default Outlook Form Regions

Ken,

If I modify the form region on the meeting request form, the data is
preserved it appears. All I need to do if possible is to take the data from
the current item's form region and add it to the outgoing meeting request
message.

The trick here is how to reference the form region for the outgoing meeting
request message. I'm going ot start a new discussion on the VSTO forum to
see if this is possible and there's a sould out there that can help me out
with some code.

Thanks,

Rafael
