Outlook 2003 form not sending data

[NerdyOne]

I'm working on creating a form for our administrative assistant to use over and over again when emailing our building department. It's a pretty simple form with 4 user defined fields.

The fields are:

Permit #
Location:
Name:
Place:

I've got the form published and it will email to the intended person but the data entered does not show up on the email. What gives?

When in form design view, you will see two options on the toolbar: Edit Compose Page & Edit Read Page. The Compose Page is what the person sending the form sees, and the Read Page is what the recipient viewing the page sees. Make sure your Read page is configured just like the Compose Page. This should do it.

Why make it simple and efficient when it can be complex and wonderful?

That sounded like it would do the trick but it didn't. I've edited the Read Page but all it displays is the message field even AFTER I deleted it from the form. Everytime I make a change I save/publish the for, but still it's a no-go.

It has something to do with the fields that I created. They are on both forms (compose and read), but the data doesn't stick with the email.

This is SOOOOO basic I'm sure but I really need help I think my brain is FRIED!

Try deleting all fields from your read page. Then copy and paste the fields from the compose page exactly as they are onto the read page. See if that works.

If that doesn't work it may be a caching issue.
