Created Form, Published it, but sent emails don't have form data
Hi all,
I created a form in Outlook with Tab stops and a drop down box, but when I click "run this form" fill it out and send the email out, NONE of the data is in there, not even the Label text, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Are you storing the control data from your custom form in user properties?
If you don't bind your controls to user properties or standard properties the values won't persist. See the forms information at www.outlookcode.com for more information on binding controls to properties. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Ken,
Thanks for the fast reply. How do you bind a control? ie "Right click on the text field, advanced properties...etc..." thanks "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Are you storing the control data from your custom form in user properties?

Properties, go to the Value tab. Either create a new property there or set
the control value to bind to an existing property. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Created Form, Published it, but sent emails don't have form da
Yes, I know that part, but how do I know which one to bind it to? In other
words, I created a text label that says "Matter Number" and right next to it, I have a text box that I created for myself to enter data in. I right clicked on my newly created text box, selected properties, selected the "Value" tab, selected the "Choose Field" box and can't find "Matter Number". Do I create a new value with the exact same label name (Matter Number)? If yes, how does Outlook know that I want it to bind to the EXACT same label name in the form I'm working on? I did manage to get the form text to show up in my sent messages, but the data I entered in still doesn't show. One more thing...is there a way to get the form to show up in the Auto-Preview box? My form (without the text I entered) only shows up after double clicking on the sent message, but not in the preview box. Thanks for all your help.

The property won't exist unless you create it. You can name it whatever you
want to name it, it can have the same name as your text box control or any other name you want to give it. What auto-preview box? Do you mean the preview/reading pane or do you want your field to show up in auto-preview in table views? -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Ken,
Actually I meant the "Reading Pane". I can't see the form when viewing it from the reading pane (not actually opening it) "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: The property won't exist unless you create it.

It's normal not being able to see custom forms in the reading pane.

Okay,
I would like to do the "abnormal" and be able to see it from the reading pane. Is this possible?
