Default Noob form question

I've created a pretty basic form which is giving me a couple specific
problems. The form is based off of a message template.

1. The form has many combo boxes in use. After publishing the form, and
opening it for use, when I select a combo box value from the list I've
created, it populates ALL combo boxes with that value. If I go to a
different combo box and select a value, it will reset ALL combo boxes to
that new value.
2. When I try sending the form, despite the issue with the combo boxes. The
resulting message comes up blank. Showing nothing of the form just a blank
page with my signature block.

Suggestions?
Thanks.

Default Noob form question

1) The symptoms suggest that you bound each combo box to the same Outlook property, rather than binding each to its own Outlook property. Make that change on the Value tab of the control's Properties dialog.

2) Likely causes:

-- You didn't publish the form to the Organizational Forms library.

-- You did publish to Org Forms but checked the "send form definition with item" box on the (Properties) page.

-- You did not click the Edit Read Page button and create a read layout with controls to match your control layout.
