Can I create a Macro to Auto-Reply once form is Sent?

[Tony Law]

I created a form and it works well. What I would like is once the person who
fills out the form clicks the Send button, the form goes to the
pre-designated recipients and the Sender gets an Auto-Reply that states
"Thank you for the form......."

Is there a way, using a Macro or something else, to get the form to
automatically generate the auto-reply e-mail?

You would need code behind the form. This will work only if the form is
published, which means you either need to publish it to the Organizational
Forms library in an Exchange organization or to each user's Personal Forms
library.

Thanks! What kind of code would I need? And where would I code it?

You would write VBScript code using the intrinsic Application and Item
objects that represent the Outlook.Application object and the current item.
Place it in the View Code window in the form in design mode. The event
handler that you'll use is Item_Send, and you'll use the Item.Reply method
to create the reply.

You might want to look at some sample forms that have code. See
