Forms and Tracking

[Lee]

I'm looking for a way that I can customize a field to populate and add
everytime a user sends a form. What I mean is a disabled readonly box that
says
Bob sent to Bill on 4-5-05
Bill FWD to Mike and Ray on 4-5-05
Mike Sent back to Bob on 4-6-05
and keep going until the form is stopped. I was hoping outlook had it built
in, but I can't seem to find it, so now I must program. Thanks.

You're confusing forms and items. Forms are the code/UI templates. You don't send forms. You send items -- individual data records that display in a custom form. Each item that you send is separate. There's no concept of sending a custom form back and forth.

If you're working in an Exchange organization and can publish your form to the Organizational Forms library, then you could do this by putting code in the Reply, ReplyToAll, and Forward event handlers to set the value of a property on the new item (the reply or forward).
