I am new to programming MS Outlook forms. I am posting
following question.

I have created a Leave Application form (based on the
standard message form) which has a button
named "Accepted". This is to be used for employees to
apply for leave/day off work.

Idea is that I fill out the form and send it to my
manager. Once the manager accept the form, he/ she will
select the "Accepted" button which is then forward the
form to Human Resources with a copy to my.

The problem is that the VBScript code attached to
the "Accepted" button does not get executed when the
manager selects the "Accepted" button. But if I were to
select the "Accepted" button, then the code would get
executed but not when the form is forwarded to the manager.

Appreciate if somebody would advice if it possible to
program this is MS Outlook at all ? If it is possible then
how I could do this successfully.

WHere is the form published? Did you set the Forward action for the form to use the same custom form?
