Forward message inheriting subject line

[Marguerite]

I have created an Outlook form as the initial step in an approval process. I
have created a second form to forward this information to the approvers. The
second form has voting buttons. I want the second form to move certain
information, like the subject line from the 1st form to the 2nd form when the
forward button is selected. How do I do this?

Put code in the Item_Forward event handler, which will fire when the user clicks the Forward button to invoke the 2nd form.

Sue, thanks for the tip. I had not thought about the forward event handler.
However, when I am in the code, how do I point to the original message in
order to pull values from its fields?

The item where the code is running is the intrinsic Item object (as in the event handler declarations).
