The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, version 1.0, running with Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.0 or 3.2

SYMPTOMS

In version 1.0 of Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer, if you follow the instructions for creating a Reply Form in the Developer's Guide (pages 112-115) the Sender's name does not appear on the Read Reply Form (frmReadReply).

CAUSE

There is no code in the ReadMessage procedure defined in EFORM.BAS to handle adding the Sender name to the Read Reply form (frmReadReply).

RESOLUTION

To include the Sender's name in the Read Reply Form, follow this procedure to add code to the ReadMessage procedure defined in EFORM.BAS:

  1. Open the E-form project in Visual Basic.

  2. From the Project window, select EFORM.BAS.

  3. Click the View Code button.

  4. From the Procedure list box, select ReadMessage.

  5. Add the following code to process frmReadReply:

    If frm Is frmReadReply Then

          frm!txtOriginator = gOriginator.Name
          ' Check and see if the form has been saved since it was received
          modified = MEFReadLong(gPackage, "modified", 0)
          If modified <> 0 Then
    
            frm!lblFrom = "*&From:"
          End If
          frm!txtDateReceived = MEFFormatMAPIDate(gMessage.DateReceived)
       End If
    
    

  6. Save the project.

  7. From the File menu, choose "Make EXE file" to build the new E-form executable.
