    You must be using a pretty old version of Outlook, since this was fixed
    quite a while back. You should be able to avoid one-offing if you use frames
    and disable/enable them instead of the data controls.

mess with the properties of the controls (like enable/disable) it makes the
form One-Off so it does not run the code the second time it is opened down
the chain of recipients.

just outside the scope of outlook programming? Or are there ways around
this?
