Creating a form in 2003

[Lynn]

Hello All
I work in an office that uses Outlook 2003 with exchange. I want to create
an outlook form using label filed and a text input field. I created the
form and it looks ok. I saved it both as a .msg and oft file. I even
published it in my own personal library. I then go to new, choose form and
select it from my library and fill out the text input field and then hit
send. It sends the e-mail however the information is not there at all. Same
thing happens when I use the msg message and the oft message. How do I go
about seeing the information? Does something need to be done on the server
side? I eventually want to publish it to the entire company

Thank for the Help

Your Input field must be bound to an Outlook property before it will be
saved when it is sent. There are about 6 pre-defined but unused properties
in a standard Outlook item. You can bind your field to one of those; or
bind to a User-Defined property that you create.

You'll need to use a published form for that kind of application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=61
