Distributing a Word Form
I have a Word 2003 based form that contains two tables containing user
fields. The form is accessed on a company intranet site. Ideally, I would like for the user to complete the form on-line and have it submitted to a group or individual via Outlook e-mail, without the overhead of "Save As" on the modified form, etc. I have tried using a distribution list but can't seem to make this work. Each time I access the form, and attempt to leave I receive the following prompt: "This document has a routing slip. Do you want to continue to route to individual's e-mail address name? Yes, No, Cancel. When "Yes" is selected, a MS-Outlook prompt states: "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". Yes, No, Cancel. If "Yes" is selected, a prompt to "Allow Access For" 1 minute is enabled. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way (in my MS-Office 2003 environment) to allow users to complete the form online and submit? |

Distributing a Word Form
Hi ?B?Sm9obl9DYXJ0eQ==?=,
I have a Word 2003 based form that contains two tables containing user fields. The form is accessed on a company intranet site. Ideally, I would like for the user to complete the form on-line and have it submitted to a group or individual via Outlook e-mail, without the overhead of "Save As" on the modified form, etc. I have tried using a distribution list but can't seem to make this work. Each time I access the form, and attempt to leave I receive the following prompt: "This document has a routing slip. Do you want to continue to route to individual's e-mail address name? Yes, No, Cancel. When "Yes" is selected, a MS-Outlook prompt states: "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". Yes, No, Cancel. If "Yes" is selected, a prompt to "Allow Access For" 1 minute is enabled. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way (in my MS-Office 2003 environment) to allow users to complete the form online and submit? Depends a bit on your definition of "better", but there are alternatives 1. Use the InfoPath application. This was designed for exactly the scenario you describe. http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...crosoft.public .infopath&lang=en&cr=US 2. Ask in an Outlook group how to get around the message. This is a security thing to reduce people being able to send out spam. There are ways around it, and the Outlook folks will know best how to handle it. They may also offer alternatives to using Word.

Distributing a Word Form
Hi John
Have you considered using an action button with a mailto: hyperlink and simply inserting the receipients individually rather calling the Outlook Address book. The user will just click the "Submit" button. |
