Outlook Forms - Task form cancel send

[FishGuy]

Hi Sid,

That is the full code, basically the Item_Write event is the event available in the script editor which fires automatically, I did think it strange that it is a function not a procedure. It Item write and Item send both fire when the send button is pressed and I call my two validate functions to check the values of the text boxes on the form and if required show a message.

If the validation is fine I am happy for it to send and close the form, if the validate functions return a string then I want it to not send and allow the user to revisit the form to re-submit after correcting the errors.

I googled my problem and found this similar

First time posting to this forum so if this is and old problem please forgive me in advance. Googled the problem and found nothing.

I created a custom form using a task request template and when I tried to handle the send event nothing happened. (VBScript) So I handled open and write and close and they all worked. In fact the Write Event fired twice successively

You can replicate with the following VBScrip

Function Item_Open(
MsgBox "Open
End Functio

Function Item_Read(
MsgBox "Read
End Functio

Function Item_Write(
MsgBox "Write
End Functio

Function Item_Close(
MsgBox "Close
End Functio

Function Item_Send(
MsgBox "Send
End Functio

even in a blank task request form this code doen't fire the Send Event but fires Write twice. It makes it a little hard to do field validation before a send and of course you can't cancel the send. Anybody had similar probs

Task requests don't fire a Send event. They have lots of other oddities,
too, which my page at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/taskform.htm explains. I
try to avoid customizing them.
