Outlook 2003 changed custom mail form (ipm.note) with Word or Excel send as ?

[Bruno Hirsnik]

1. I have changed my outlook 2003 default mail form
2. the name is ipm.note.test
3. with formswap i make this to the default
4. all works correct if i open a new mail or a reply in outlook the new
form is displayed and
all fields are set to the correct values

Now the problem
I open e.g. Word and send the document with send to - email with attachment
(sorry if the translation
is bad in German Senden-An > eMail-Empfängeranlage) the mail send form is
displayed but my fields
are not set the are now empty ?

I also have changed the Item_Open function to

Function Item_Open()
Item.SentOnBehalfOfName = "(e-mail address removed)"
End Function

but the same result in word or excel nothing is in the from field display.

Can anybody help me ?

Normally, custom fields do not arrive with their contents because the form
has not been sent with the TNEF wrapper. This is controlled on the email
address properties of the contact item for the recipient. Open the
recipient's contact item, select the email address, right-click it, and
choose properties. On the properties panel, at the bottom, is either a
checkbox labeled "always send to this recipient in rtf format", or a
drop-down listbox labeled something like message format. Either check the
box, or choose the rtf format in the listbox. Whether or not you have the
listbox is determined by which version of Outlook you are using. Newer ones
have the listbox.

Step 1) Open the recipient's contact item,

Step 2) select the email address,

Step 3) right-click the email address selected in step 2,

Step 4) choose properties.

Which of these four steps do you not understand?

Sorry but that's not what i mean,

1. i have a eMail address e.g (e-mail address removed) (public folder on exchange
server)
2. now i have users they should send whit this address
3. i have change the standard form in outlook if they write or answer a
mail from
outlook the address is change correct.([email protected])
4. but if the click in word or excel to send the document as attachment
per mail
the standard mail is opened from is not changed,
i have read this is because excelk and word use standard smtp and this
doesnt display the changed oulook mail form.

No such thing exists. File | Send uses Simple MAPI, which doesn't support custom forms.

Well, I guess that what you are saying is that the code that Word/Excel runs
to send a document as a mail attachment gets its message form from the
standard forms library, rather than making a query of your settings in
Outlook. You aren't going to be able to modify that code. So the only
solutions is to find a preference in Word/Excel where you can specify the form
for creating messages (which I doubt exists) or write a macro which creates a
message from the desired form and attaches the file to it and sends it. Then
tell all your users about it and hope they use it.

So, that just leaves a macro that he can run from F8.
