Setting REad Page when forwarding form

I have created a custom form with a separate compose and
read page.  The form has many controls on it.  The
purpose is for the user to enter in their inputs and send
the form to an approver.  Once the form is approved the
approver has to forward the form to someone else.   The
problem arises that when the user forwards the form, they
get the custom form (compose page) rather than the read
page with the message....  Once the form is sent, I want
to continually send the read page.  

ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

A forwarded item is a new item and will always show the Compose page. One
possible approach is to include code in the Item_Forward event handler that
shows a different page that resembles the Read layout.

I tried putting code in the item_forward event, however
it did not trigger.  Not quite sure why...

If code doesn't run, that most likely indicates the form is a one-off. You
would need to make sure you're using a published form and remove any
potential one-off causes. See

I will attempt to remove all oneoff causes.  Is there a
way to set the displayed message to the read page in the
forward event??

No. As I said before, the forward item is a new item and, therefore, always
shows the Compose layout.
