Attachments in custom forms...

[Camron Lockeby via OfficeKB.com]

Hello.

I'm new to Outlook custom forms and have very little programming experience
so be gentle...

The issue I'm having is with the message body. The only way I can see to
get the "insert file" button or "insert -> file" option in a custom form is
to add the message body field.

Unfortunately, the forms I'm created are request forms for various things
(training, graphics, document import) and function more on a "fill in the
blanks and send" level, not needing a message body like a basic email would.

Is there any way to get the attachment options minus the message body?

If I HAVE to put the message body field in my form, how do I keep people's
signature from showing up in it, once they've opened the form from our
organizational forms library?

Any/All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Apply the registry value to suppress signatures in custom forms. See
