Autosave for customized post items?

[Wolfram Jahn]

Hi,

we have a simple document management app built on outlook forms in
public folders.

Documents can be attachments to post items or simply the extended post
items themselves.

Now a user claims that she wants to have something like autosave in
word, because she lost entered text frequently when Outlook crashed.

I have no idea how I could build autosave into our modified post items:
the message field fires no events on changes, and I found no timer
functions within the forms controls.

Should I look for some active-x timer control which can be added to our
forms? Will they work together with forms?

We do not want to write any VBA code for the Outlook client, because we
had huge problems to deliver code to all our different clients.


Thanks a lot for reading and/or help

Ok, solved using Word App + OnTime.
