Custom Appointment Form
 

I've added fields to a custom appointment form for equipment like a laptop
and projector. When the appointment is sent, I want an email for the form
to also be sent to my desktop support team telling them when and where the
meeting is, and that a laptop and projector is needed. I would prefer to
automate this so that the user doesn't have to add the team names to the
invitee lists. How can I do this?

Thanks
Steve

Write code for the Item_Send event for the form and in that event handler
create a mail item and put all the information from that appointment item
that you want and send the email.

This could be made easier by creating a second custom form to use as a reply
action from the appointment form, which, when done right, will auto-load its
information from the appointment form. The trick to get it to auto-load its
field data from the first form is to drag its fields from the category of
the custom appointment form(form 1), which will appear in the list of
categories from which to select fields to drop on response form (form 2).
Then you just have to code an execute action in the Item_Send event of form
1.

Interesting ideas...Any idea where I can get an example of an Item_Send
event code sample?
Thanks
