MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2004Outlook Custom forms should be able to email
It would be awesome if one attach or forward a custom contact card with data in it and have it arrive on the other end (outside the Exchange server) intact. Currently, if you forward it, it does not open properly. If you attach as a vcard you lose the custom fields. If you set the form to send itself with the card, you cannot add more contact cards to the contacts folder. And if you send to someone on your own exchange network and they open from their email it turns all of their email into contact cards. Whew! Exhausting! Something is goofy... it should work correctly if you include the forms definition.

By default, outlook chooses the best format and converts it to HTML. Also - there is a chance the exchange server is configured to convert it to html and changing the address setting won;t help.

Thanks you. I gave that a try, but when it arrives on the other end, it still comes in as an attached email instead of a an attached contact card. Bummer.

I'm sorry! I mis-spoke. When I "send form definition with item" it sends it like an attached email and only items in the comment area show. I must be missing something (hmmm...comments like that leave me wiiiiiiiide open, eh?). Thanks, Juli > Something is goofy... it should work correctly if you include the forms > definition. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Whew! > > Exhausting! I should clarify...forwarding with the form definition saved with the item works in-house, but I need it to work when sending to those who use POP3 outside the office. I figured out why I thought it wouldn't allow me to add to the contacts once I click "send form definition with item"...if I save the form this way and send a contact inhouse, once that contact is opened, if I try to add to that folder of contacts again (these are all in Public Folders) I am given an error that that folder no longer exists, but has been deleted or moved. I did figure out that under Actions, I can tell it to Forward as a Contact Form and this seems to have fixed the inhouse problem of opening as a post and changing all of one's email to posts, as well. But am flummoxed about the POP3 issue. Thank you, Juli > Something is goofy... it should work correctly if you include the forms > definition.
