Hello,

Due to the structure of our organization, we have one organizational
library for many offices on many servers.  So, publishing forms to this
library is causing users from other offices having to log on through
our server, if the forms are published to the org library.

I also, do not want to have to go around to each user and publish to
their personal library.

I attempted to try to publish the form to a public folder.  However, if
I "send the form with the form definition", the code does not run.  If
I send it without, then the user receiving the form can not open the
form, they just get the generic message form.

Any advice on a possible solution would be great.

Thanks,
JM

Could this be a replication issue? Ideally, each server should have its own copy of the Org Forms library.

If you have code that needs to run on a custom form, you have only two choices -- publish to Org Forms once or to each user's Personal Forms library. The latter can be done with a script; see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/distributeforms.htm
