Forms - vacation.exe

[ndoka]

I installed the vacation.exe form and did some
modifications. I included the active X add-in for a
dropdown calendar in the Start and Ending fields.

Then I updated Outlook 2000 with the Outlook 2000 SP3.
Now, when I pull up the vacation request form and send it
the recipient does not receive the custom form. They
receive a default message form. However, the custom form
they should receive goes directly into my "Sent Items"
folder without letting me know. I just happen to stubble
across that fact.

My question is this: when the recipient gets the
popup "New mail arrived. Do you want to read", they click
yes and the default message comes up. I want them to see
the default custom form in their Inbox. It used to work
fine before I installed the OL2K SP3 upgrade.

Please help.

Right now, I'm testing it on my machine only. I pretend
like I'm requesting vacation and send it to myself for
approval.

Yes, I have the forms published in the "personal Library
Folder".

It seems like the only form that isn't showing up in the
Inbox is the form the approving manager gets. Once the
form is either approve or denied and gets sent back those
custom forms are going directly into the Inbox (as they
should).

Did the recipient also publish the form with the same message class? If not,
you cannot send them an item created from the form and expect it to work on
the recipient's end. They need the form published there or in Organizational
Forms.

You did leave the "send form definition with item" box clear on the
(Properties) page, didn't you?
