Default Recipient/E-mail 'Submit' button possible?

[Jeff]

Hi,

I'm working in Exchange 2k3. I'm designing a message form in Outlook 2003
for Outlook XP users.
I'm hoping there is a way to design a 'Submit' button that users of the form
can click to send the message to the default recipient (with me being able to
program the default).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's possible if all the recipients are internal and you have permission to publish forms to the Organizational Forms library on the Exchange server.

Hi Sue,

Yes, it's just one, internal address to which I'd like the forms sent. Can
you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

It's not the address of the form's final destination that matters, but the users who will be sending to that address. Are they all internal? And can you publish the form to the Organizational Forms Library? If the answer to both is Yes, the code might look like this, where cmdSubmit is the name of the button:

Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
Item.To = "some address"
Item.Send
End Sub

Hi Sue,

Forgive me if this is redundant but I didn't see my reply show up on the
thread. Could you point me in the right direction for how to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by the "this" in how to do this. It's not the address of the form's final destination that matters, but the users who will be sending to that address. Are they all internal? And can you publish the form to the Organizational Forms Library? If the answer to both is Yes, the code might look like this, where cmdSubmit is the name of the button:

Hi Sue,

Sorry about that repost etc. Yes, all the users are internal and I can
publish to the OFL. What I meant by "this" is exactly what you provided - a
sample for me to work with. I'll work with the code you suggested. Thanks
so much.
