Re: Please help on how to work with two custom forms

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


Sue,

The code on form 2 does not run since I added a message
box in the open event. I'll post the code I have and also
check under help.

BTW, do I need to open the original email using form 1 and
then open the email saved with form 2? Thanks.
