Set Inital Value of From field on custom form

[Kele]

Does anybody know how to make the from name show up on a
custom form when a user creates a new form.

Cheers Kele.

Set the From name to what you want in a new email and then put that
form into design mode (Tools, Forms, Design this form). Be aware
though that it won't send properly unless you are using Exchange and
have the needed permissions to SendAs that mailbox or you are using
PST files and the Outlook version you are using supports sending from
that email address and you have it in your email accounts.

Won't work, I'm afraid. The From value only sticks if you save the form as
an .oft file. It doesn't stick if you publish the form, alas.
