Designing a Form / Message in Outlook

[Kim]

Good Morning! I work for a school district and need to
send critical emails regarding campus situations to upper
management & departments as necessary (fields include
school name, student name, grade, description of incident.

When I tried to design a form...and set user-defined form
fields...it put them on the side next to the main
window...not in it. So when I tested the template, by
adding the specific text in the form field boxes...the
email goes OK and the subject line shows "test" but the
form fields do not go to the receiving party only a blank
message box.

PC help, offered very little on the topic of forms but
says you can use many different types of templates as
forms. I also tried setting it up in Word, but even as a
template when I try and open in Outlook it doesn't
recognize the file type. And template was the only option
in the save as mode that was close. Please Advise. I
will be sending these out on 31 campuses very frequently
and would like to have a set layout to avoid missing data.

information. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/sendform.htm for

There is a microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms group that
specializes in Outlook forms questions, BTW.
