After saving document receiving Msg to save before Msg can be sent

[Mules]

I set up an Outlook form with a Word document and Buttons, and if the user
chose 'Yes' I was wanting the word document to be sent to a certain Email
address. When the user chose 'Yes' a "Microsoft Office Outlook" message
appears saying "The original item must be saved before the operation can be
completed" with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons??? I already saved the word
document and would like to bypass this message??

I thank you ahead of time for reading this question.

What is the user choosing Yes to? If code runs when the user choose Yes, please show it.

Sue,
There is no code running, I have choosen the Actions;for of Type:
IPM.note;Address form like: Response;When responding: Attach original
message; And this is how it behaves.
I have choosen the Actions for 'No"; for of Type: IPM.note;Address form
like: Response;When responding: Do not include original message; And this
returs a no message without any other actions from the user. (Just what I
want) Thanks again, Sue.

YOu can't disable Outlook's default behavior in this case. Instruct the users to not just save, but to close and save the Word document before using the custom action button.

Sue, I guess what outlook is trying to tell me is to save the outlook message
before sending it. Because by updating the word document I have changed the
outlook message. How can I force an update of the outlook message when I
select 'Yes' from the menu??
thanks,

You could add code to the Item_CustomAction event handler to save the item when the user clicks:
