Multipart, User to User Form
Question from an obvious rookie. And yes I have the book... sitting on my shelf - demands are many, time is limited (purchased 2 years ago). Before I travel down the 80 - 120 hour path to learn a new technology I am trying to determine if an Outlook form is a valid solution. Is it possible to build a multipart form which will facilitate a lite workflow process? The goal is to build a multi part form where person A opens the form in the Outlook client, completes part A then sends the information to person B. Next, person B opens the form containing the information supplied by person A, completes part B then sends the information to person C. etc R M 30-Jul-2010 13:43 |

Workflow with custom message forms is feasible only where you can publish the forms to the Organizational Forms library or get each user to publish the form to his or her Personal Forms library. If you can't get past that hurdle, then there's no possibility of making a custom form workflow based on message forms. An alternative would be a workflow based in a Exchange public folder. Section 12.3.3 in my Outlook 2007 book explains how to handle state in a folder-based workflow. The state concepts would also be relevant to a message-based workflow. Microsoft InfoPath also offers workflow capability. |
