After creating the form, how do i send it to be filled and send ba

I would like all this to happen in the message window not as an attachment.
It's for the office. Can it be done, and how.

YOu can start by writing your complete question in the body of your post and providing information about your version of Outlook and your mail environment, especially whether you have Microsoft Exchange as your mail server.

Sorry about that. We use outlook 2003 and Microsoft Exchange is your mail
server.
I'd like to be able to create a form and send it in the body of the message
to be filled and sent back.

Start by checking with your Exchange administrator to make sure you can public a form to the server's Organizational Forms library. If you can't, then you're largely out of luck when it comes to Outlook forms.

Assuming you can, the most elegant approach would be to have two forms --

1) The actual form you want people to fill out, preaddressed to whoever should receive it.
2) A "launcher" form that includes code similar to that at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/formlauncher.htm

The sample form in the link is a post form, but you could just as easily design a message form to do the same thing and thus to launch the #1 form when the recipient opens it.

Form basics start at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm
