Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
I am trying to change the behavior on a newly created form, for some reason,
it does not save the e-mail after being sent to Sent Items, it is saving them in the Draft folder. We are developing this form for data transmission requests, so we need to keep them.

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
How are you actually using the form? Does the user create messages manually? Or does code create them programmatically? Also on the Options dialog, do you have any setting to save items in a specific folder?

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
Sorry, the form is just a modified Message form, the user is launching the
form through a macro button, filling in the form, then clicking the Send button to fire off the e-mail. The mail does go through. I have checked the message options for where to save, and it is set to Save to Sent items in form designer. I used the Message Options to get a read receipt successfully without the user having to choose the option. It's just weird that it puts it in Draft instead of Sent items. I have launched the form manually as well (this is all in development) with the same results. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How are you actually using the form?

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
The user will be (still in development) using a macro to launch the form,
which is a modified message form. The user clicks on the standard Send button when they are done filling in the form. I verified the Options dialogue, it shows save to Sent folder. I am also getting weird results using a defined send to address, for some reason, the sent mail shows the date/time stamp instead of the recipient address. This only seems to happen when I try to use multiple recipients, once completed, it will be sent to a shared mailbox, so I assume this will go away.

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
Is there code behind the form? If so, you'll probably want to remove it all and see if you get the same effect. If not, then whittle it down until you pinpoint the code that causes the problem.

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
Thank you so much for your help, I will give that a shot, although there is
no code in the background, it's more of a nuisance, I am doing the heavy lifting on this project, I will be passing this along to others who will be publishing it for the organization.

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
Ok, now I see what it is doing, because it takes a couple minutes to fill in
the form, it is automaticaly saving a draft copy. Now that I have tinkered with it more, I am seeing the sent e-mails. Sorry to trouble you, but is there a function to clear the draft once the e-mail has been sent? I should have probably mentioned earlier, this is in Outlook 2003.

Form saving messages in Draft instead of Sent items
The draft shouldn't be there after the original has been sent. Sending moves the draft from the Drafts folder to the Outbox, ready to be delivered.
