vbScript Not Firing "Boyd" <boydmt[ at ]yahoo.com> 28.09.2006 19:13:47 I have a custom message form published to the Organizational Forms Library. On the form is a button with the following code behind the Click Event: Item.To = "johnsmith[ at ]abc.com" Item.Send For 99% of users, clicking the button successfully sends the form to John Smith, and closes. I have 2 people telling me that nothing happens when they click the button. This behavior sounds like the form has one-off'ed somehow, but wouldn't everyone have the same issue if this is the case? I stepped 1 of the users thru clearing the forms cache, then attempted to submit the form again .. same issue. Any ideas what might be happening here? Thanks, Boyd

When you set up recipient email addresses in code, you are supposed to add a recipient object to the recipients collection object, initialize its subfields, and then resolve the address to be sure it will actually send. I had expected to find a simple writeup of this at either www.slipstick.com or www.outlookcode.com, but I have just spent some time at both and cannot find anything through search. Bummer. Try looking up the objects through the object browser help which you can reach using F2 in the VBScript editor. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

Re: vbScript Not Firing "Boyd" <boydmt[ at ]yahoo.com> 29.09.2006 21:58:23 Thanks Hollis .. I wasn't aware of the recipients collection object. I'm guessing the vbScript fired, but network connectivity issues prevented the form from sending when the user clicked the button. I think the best way to tackle this issue is to resolve the address field, and include error handling in case the address doesn't resolve. This way, the user is aware of the issue, and can re-try sending the form when connectivity issues subside. Thanks again. Boyd.
