Sue, sorry for my apparent ignorance. I must admit, with Office apps
anyway, I am a little slow.
1. The form is published to the Personal forms library.
2. When looking at the message class of the form it simply says:
IPM.Note.USAFE Tasker.
3. I am not sure how to get to the information you are requesting (I can
zip the oft file and email it to you)
4. All users attach to a single organizational mailbox to update items.
5. The form creates a new entry in mailbox, increments a tracking number,
and tracks history, comments, and status. What is not happening is the saved
history function. there is an area to add comments for each update. when a
new update is made, the previous comment is added to history. this funciton
is not working.
