Hi everyone,

Thanks for reading my post, I tried to look through the forums for this
answer, but I'm guessing it's too basic  :)  I'm using Outlook 2007 on an
Exchange server, and have copied another department's message form, which
works fine for them BUT they're using it in Outlook 2003.

Some brief info on the form--it's to request sick time, so it's very simple.
There's some buttons to let the staff person select what kind of time
they're requesting to use, a text box for name, date, total hours, and a
description.  No code behind the scenes, just a fairly simple form.

Published it to the correct space with some help, and it works (1st
surprise), but, a few quirks greet you from here-

1.)  it doesn't show up in the preview bar, you get a message stating this.  
is there a workaround?

2.)  if I reply, the form doesn't display at all--if I forward it does.  Why?

Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide.

1) No, that's normal behavior.

2) Probably because the Reply action on the form's (Actions) page is set to
use the standard message form, not the custom form.
