New Form Help - Data Disappears

[Dru]

Hello,

I want to create a form in Outlook 2003 that my supervisors will use to
communicate employee status changes, like address changes.

I create the form, use the Title and Text Boxes within the control panel and
save, publish etc.

When I open the form and complete it, and send it to someone, like myself,
the data I entered does not show up (like the new address, for instance)

The form needs to be published to the Organizational Forms library. You probably also need to click, the Edit Read Page buttoin and create a read layout that uses the same fields as your compose layout. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=61

Does it matter that I am not running Exchange?

Yes, it matters immensely that you are not using Exchange, because that means you have no central Organizational Forms library. For your form to be usable, each sender and recipient will need to publish it to their own Personal Forms library with the same message class.
