Ok, we’re doing some custome forms in Outlook, and I’ve hit a few snags. I’m hoping some of the genius’s out there amoung the Teeming Millions can help. Question 1) While trying to create a form that will perform an action, I can’t get the code to work right. I thought it would be a simple task. You know…If [fieldname] = true, then [perform this action] if not, then [perform another action]. Then I discovered that Outlook doesn’t work the same way that access does, even though the form building environment seems similar. What we want to be able to do is for when a user checks a box, to have the form automatically place someone’s name in the To: field. Any help on this would be appriciated, even a general idea about how to proceed. Question 2) With aformentioned custom form, how can I get the form to print out in something resembling the screen, instead of the default format of alphabetical order that Outlook uses. I thought I read someplace about a utility that you could install, that would print the form in different formats, and not make you have to go with a strange naming convention. Thanks in advance. ---
