'While You Were Out' Telephone form

[MarshaW]

I am trying to create a "While You Were Out" Telephone form to send to people
rather than hand writing. Does anyone already have that form created?

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mssampleapps.htm for links to that form
and many others.

 

[MarshaW]

One of the forms is partially printing in German, how can I change it?

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

A good start would be to explain the problem in detail, starting with
information on what form from what source and what's printing in German.

 

[MarshaW]

The form that actually prints out does not show the phone number for them to
call. And a portion of this prints out in German. How can I make that
change?

 

[MarshaW]

When you complete the form and send it, the recipient can print the e-mail
message. On the printed message it has the following headers printed down
the left side of the page with info to right for each header: From, Sent, To,
Subject; then a space, then Follow Up Flag, Due By, Flag Status, [Space],
Contacts, An, Betreff, Date and Time, Gesendet, Message Type,
MessageReadPage, Vertraulichkeit, Von, Wichtigkeit.

Under that prints the notes written in the note section. The German Headers
of (An, Betreff, Gesendet, Vertraulichkeit, Von, and Wichtigkeit) have the
following An=Sender, Betreff=Subject line, Gesendet=Sent Date and Time, and
Vertraulichkeit=0??, Wichtigkeit=1???

It won't print the phone number although it is on the form and filled out.
Hope this helps.

The only program I downloaded was from the site you gave me. There is no
URL. I use Outlook from Office2000. And when you send a "while you were
out" note it goes to the recipient as an e-mail. The receipient opens the
email (like any other e-mail). You then have the opportunity to print that
e-mail off, simply by pressing the printer key. That is the "form" I am
referring to. The printed copy of the e-mail. Send yourself a "while you
were out" e-mail, and go into Outlook, open it up and then go to print
preview, you will see exactly what I am talking about.

The page I suggested has links to many different forms on it. If there was a
download, there was a URL that you clicked on to perform the download. You
can right-click the link and use the Copy Shortcut command to copy the URL,
then paste it into a message.

Did you publish the form or are you just launching it from an .oft template
file?

Run the form, DO NOT FILL IN ANY DATA, and then choose Tools | Forms |
Design This Form. Switch to the All Fields page. Under "User-defined fields
in this item," you should see only these fields

Date and Time, Message Type, MessageReadPage, Other Message, Please
Contact

My guess is that the German text is the names of other fields defined in a
folder, possibly your Inbox. While still on All FIelds page, switch to the
list of "User-defined fields in Inbox" and see if you find them there. If
so, and if you know you don't use them, you can use the Delete button on
that page to delete them from the folder.

[MarshaW]

Yes I did that also. The other form that I downloaded (which I forgot) was
an alternate form (which included the opportunity to use IM and Dial the
number). That was simply a download of a zip file from www.cdolive.com.
That was the one with all of the German in it. That was the form that showed
the German. However in the area you suggested it did not print out as a
field for the "all fields".

I started working with the form that came with the URL that I told you
earlier. That works great, except for one issue (just like the other form) -
when you receive a copy of the file it does not show the phone number, so I
have had to ask people to re-write the phone number in the details section.
However If you print that e-mail out it shows the phone number there. Sorry
to be such a problem, you probably have not had to spend as much time with
anyone as you have with me. I want you to know I appreciate all that you
have done. If you can fix the problem with the phone number showing up when
they receive the e-mail all will be PERFECT. If not, it is still 90% better
then what I had.

Run the form, DO NOT FILL IN ANY DATA, and then choose Tools | Forms |
Design This Form. Switch to the All Fields page. Under "User-defined fields
in this item," you should see only these fields

Date and Time, Message Type, MessageReadPage, Other Message, Please

That was the one with all of the German in it. That was the form that

And why didn't you provide that URL for that download instead of the one
from Microsoft?

However in the area you suggested it did not print out as a

But did you look under "User-defined fields"

I started working with the form that came with the URL that I told you
earlier. That works great, except for one issue (just like the other
form) -
when you receive a copy of the file it does not show the phone number

However If you print that e-mail out it shows the phone number there.

What field name does it show for the number? And where are users entering
the phone number? I'd suggest that they can type the phone number in the
Please Contact box, along with the name. That way, the number will appear in
the subject line of the WYWO message, so they may never need to open or
print it at all.

You may want to click the Edit Read Page button in design mode and edit the
read layout for the form to make the gray text box below the Please Contact
label taller so the text will wrap.

Oh, by the way, I just noticed the IM Chat and Dial buttons disappear as well
when I publish.

Sue, I have downloaded and implemented this form, but am having a frustration.

If I simply open the .oft file and test the form it seems to work find. But
after publishing the form I cannot get the phone number field to stick. What
I mean is when I type in a phone number (in any format) and then tab or click
on another field, the phone number disappears. As a test I go ahead and send
the form, but the phone number field is blank on the receiving side as well.

Any thoughts?

Does that form have any code behind it? If it does, the code won't run from an .oft file. You'll need to publish it with the Tools | Forms | Publish form command.

As for the phone number, in design mode, check the Properties dialog for that field's control and look on the Value tab to make sure it's bound to an Outlook property. If the form has separate compose and read layouts, the control needs to be bound to the same property on each layout.
