I am using a holiday request form which I downloaded from a website

The person fills in holiday information and sends to his/her manager t
accept.

The manager accepts/declines the holiday request and the form i
bounced back to the originator to let him/her know of the result.

I am wanting to be able to send the response to another perso
(preferrably only 1 person) who is not the originator.

Is there anyway of doing this, either using vbscript. If so any hel
would be appreciated.

Thank

Presumably the form has script that runs when the Accept or Decline button is clicked. That script would be in the Item_CustomAction event handler; that's where your code would need to set the address for the outgoing response item.

This is what is in the code window. I have got the cc: field to work but it sends the request to the cc: not the response from the sent to: field.

Function Item_CustomAction(ByVal Action, ByVal NewItem)

select case Action.Name
    case "Approve"
    item.userproperties.find("Approved") = true
    Actions.Item("Approve").Enabled = False
    Actions.Item("Deny").Enabled = False
    NewItem.Body = "Your request from " & (item.userproperties.find("Days Off From")) & " to " & (item.userproperties.find("Days Off To")) & "for " & (item.userproperties.find("Totaldays"))& " days leave has been approved."
    case "Deny"
    item.userproperties.find("Denied") = true
    Actions.Item("Approve").Enabled = False
    Actions.Item("Deny").Enabled = False
    NewItem.Body = "Your request from " & (item.userproperties.find("Days Off From")) & " to " & (item.userproperties.find("Days Off To")) & "for " & (item.userproperties.find("Totaldays"))& " days leave has been denied."
    end select

    item.close(0)

    Item_CustomAction = true

End Function

Did you have the actions set up to "address like reply"?

It is set to reply.

The forward isn't enabled though, could this be it
