Submit button
I created a form in word 2003. I added a submit button from the toolbar. I
changed its properties to . I push the button and it opens my email client (Outlook) but does not include the form. What exactly is it submitting? I have looked and it seems I have to go through programming loops to make it work. Is this true? I want an end-user to fill out the form, hit submit and have the filled out form e-mailed to me. This form is going to be available on a local intranet site. At this point security is not an issue. Ease of use is. Thank you. |

I push the button and it opens my email client (Outlook) but does not include the form. What exactly is it submitting? nothing. :-) The mailto hyperlink is launching the default mail application with a new email to the specified address. You can also specify the subject of that email (see the Hyperlink dialog, for instance). Now, if you edit the field code, you can certainly add a couple of REF fields so that the subject is comprised of your data. But that's not really nice, all too easy, and since you're dealing with a form, might need some small VBA code to actually update the mailto field-construct before the user clicks it.

This form is going to be available on a local intranet site. At this point security is not an issue. Ease of use is. It might be cleaner to do the logic on the server side, then. HTML form with some CGI script, PHP, whatever your web developers are familiar with. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
