You have to be careful about this if you are using VBScript to manipulate the
values that get put into the controls. When you copy from the read to the send
form, the variables and control names are entered in the existing namespace of
the form. So, the second time in, it changes the names of all the controls and
variables to slightly different ones, and code will not work properly.

Unless you really, really need two forms, then you should uncheck the separate
read form option on the forms menu (or is it the layout menu. When you do that,
it will say you will lose everything on the read page. Since you copied from
one to the other, you can say yes. If you have code involved, make sure you are
losing the copied page, not the original page.

The best rule is to always uncheck the Separate Read Page option before you
start your design. If you do want to have different pages, then do the common
elements first, click the Separate option, and design the unique parts.
