Custom Forms using XPrint to print WYSWYG

[Jeanne]

Hi,
Wondering if anyone else is having this problem or knows
of a solution...

We got around the problem of custom forms not printing by
loading the XPrint control onto the forms. For a while
that worked fine. Now, when we open a form from the
Organizational Forms library it will print in WYSWAG, but
when you send it it will not.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you using code behind the form to invoke XPrint?

Yes, hi thanks. We are using code. When I test it, it
works fine. Actually it worked fine for over a year.
Now, suddenly when we send the form, the XPrint
functionality is not there. We did go to SP-3, can it
have something to do with that?

Yes. If the form runs code when you use Run This Form in design mode, but doesn't run code after you have sent or saved an item using the form, you probably have done something to "one-off" the form. Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002, Outlook 2000 SP2 and Outlook 2000 or 98 with the Email Security Update will not run code on one-off forms; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#formsec for more information on this issue.

To ensure that a form does not one-off:

-- Make sure the "Send form definition with item" box on the (Properties) tab of the form is *not* checked. [1]

-- For in-house corporate use with Exchange Server, publish the form to the Organization Forms library or a public folder's forms library, as appropriate for your application.

-- For collaboration via the Internet, publish your form to your Personal Forms library. Save it as an .oft file and send it to other people who need to use it with instructions to publish it with the same form name that you used.

Many other things can cause one-off forms. If the above steps don't work on a new item created with your form, see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/formpub.htm#oneoff for other possible causes.

[1] Whenever you publish a message form, Outlook will suggest that you may want to check the "Send form definition with item" box to ensure that the recipient will have the form, especially if you're sending to someone via the Internet. In the current Outlook security environment, this suggestion is obsolete. Ignore it unless your form has no code behind it.
