Read Page VBScript question

[RSN1865]

How do you get a VBScrip to fire when a custom form has been
delivered. I have composed the Read Page of the form with a simple
command button that will display a message box with "It Worked!" as a
test.

When I run the form and send the message to my inbox it delivers
correctly. All the script runs on the edit page but when I open the
message delivered to my inbox the "Read Page" portion of the form
doesn't fire the script. The button I created is there but when I
click on it it doesn't work.

Thanks for any support given.

If the form no longer runs code after you have sent or saved it, you probably have done something to "one-off" the form. Outlook 2002, Outlook 2000 SP2 and Outlook 2000 or 98 with the Email Security Update will not run code on one-off forms; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#formsec for more information.

To ensure that a form does not one-off:

-- Make sure the "Send form definition with item" box on the (Properties) tab of the form is *not* checked. [1]

-- For in-house corporate use with Exchange Server, publish the form to the Organization Forms library or a public folder's forms library, as appropriate for your application.

-- For collaboration via the Internet, publish your form to your Personal Forms library. Save it as an .oft file and send it to other people who need to use it with instructions to publish it with the same form name that you used.

Many other things can cause one-off forms. If the above steps don't work on a new item created with your form, see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/formpub.htm#oneoff for other possible causes.

[1] Whenever you publish a message form, Outlook will suggest that you may want to check the "Send form definition with item" box to ensure that the recipient will have the form, especially if you're sending to someone via the Internet. In the current Outlook security environment, this suggestion is obsolete. Ignore it.
