Is it possible create a form with the "From" field
populated. Outlook 2002
Well, there is a convoluted way to do it, in a limited manner. Get a
blank form, send it to yourself, filling in just enough to get past
your spam filters. Then go to the sent items folder, and open it. Go
to the Actions Menu and resend the message. You get a message with an
Active From button. But you can only get one address from it. You can
add more by typing directly onto the from field itself, but one wonders
why one would do that. Eventually, word pops up a message saying there
are two many addresses in the from box. (Don't know how all this works
out in the Outlook editor.)
Send that form to yourself. Open it, click on the Edit Menu, click on
Edit message, delete the Addressee, and the false subject and message,
click on the Tools Menu, and then Forms->Design this form, etc.
Well, I discovered you can't delete the addressee. So it may be
limited in what you can do with this form. And I certainly do not
recommend using it.
