Created & Published Form but content(filled out by user)not displa

[Mary]

I created an outlook form which I had published. When the fields of the form
are completed and the form is submitted. The receipant of the form receives
the form with only the dropdown items that were selected displayed. All of
the other fill-in fields are blank. Is there a setting that I may have
missed? Any help would be greatly appreciated since I have not been able to
locate any resolution on this anywhere.

Sounds like you have not bound each control to the specific Outlook property that holds the data. You need to do this on both the compose and read layouts, on the Value tab of each control's Properties dialog.

How would I do this?

Right-click each control, bring up its Properties dialog, switch to the Value tab, and select or create a field using the controls at the top of that tab.

Ok, I have already done this but the filled out content still does not display.

Did you set up the controls the same way on both the compose and read layouts?

I have the form set as compose and read so therefore when I make changes its
for both layouts.

Is this a message form? Where is it published?

Yes, this is a message form and it is published in the Organizational Forms
Library.

The symptoms you describe are not covered by any known forms issue. Almost all cases of data not appearing on received items can be explained by omissions in form design. I would suggest that you double-check the control properties again. As a diagnostic, it might be useful to display the All Fields page, so you can compare the data listed there with the data you see on the custom pages.

Are you using this form only within your organization or are you sending it to external recipients?

Using it internally only.
