TO field on Read Page not resolving

[mjg]

Hi, I have what should be a simple approval form built as an outlook custom form. The compose page contains a form with several text fields, a To button that brings up the GAL to choose a recipient, and a Submit button that calls Item.Send. The read page is simply a copy of the compose page with the fields disabled along with an additional text box for notes and another To button to choose the next recipient from the GAL and a button that calls an "Approved" action to an approval form. The compose->send works fine, the received read page shows the filled-out form, and the read page's To button chooses an new recipient from the GAL and populates a text box bound to the TO address field. However, when this form is sent from the custom action, the exchange server returns the following:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: Supervisor Award - Budget Approved
Sent: 6/13/2012 3:08 PM

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

Notice that there are no recipients listed afterwards. I have noticed that when the TO recipient is displayed in the bound text box on the read page after being chosen from the GAL, it isn't underlined. I have tried doing Item.Recipients.Add() and setting recipient.Type = 1 'Outlook.OlMailRecipientType.olTo and doing a recipient.Resolve and If recipient.Resolved before calling the action, all to no avail. What am i missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try forcing a save - you should be able to hit Save before sending and see if it works. If so, add a Save to the code. You could also try Recipients.ResolveAll - it might not help, depending on how/when you did the recipient.resolve.

you may also want to try the msdn forum -http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=outlookdev -

Thanks for your reply Diane,

I've tried forcing the save before sending, but am getting the same "Undeliverable" error. And, using ResolveAll doesn't resolve the TO address. Is it not possibler to have more than one control on the item that is bound to the TO field? I have one textbox on the Compose page and one on the Read page. Different names, but both bound to the TO field. Below is the Sub that calls the "Approve" action:

Sub cmdApprove_Click()

'msgbox("Approved")
Dim theInspector
Dim thisPage
Dim toButton
Dim oMailItem
Dim myRecipient
Dim recipients

'---Get refrences to the controls
Set theInspector = Item.GetInspector
Set thisPage = theInspector.ModifiedFormPages("AwardNomination")
Set toButton = thisPage.Controls("ToButton")
If Item.UserProperties("To") = "" Then
msgbox("Please Select an Approving Official")
toButton.SetFocus
Else
Set oMailItem = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem

Item.UserProperties("Originator") = GetSMTPAddressForRecipients(oMailItem)

'MsgBox Item.UserProperties("Originator").Value

Set recipients = Item.Recipients
Set myRecipient = recipients.Add(ResolveDisplayNameToSMTP(Item.UserProperties("To").Value))

'MsgBox "To SMTP = " & ResolveDisplayNameToSMTP(Item.UserProperties("To").Value)
myRecipient.Type = 1 'Outlook.OlMailRecipientType.olTo

'myRecipient.Resolve
Item.Recipients.ResolveAll
If myRecipient.Resolved Then
Actions("Approve").Execute
Else
MsgBox "Recipient Not Found in Global Address List"
End If
End If

End Sub

Thanks Again,

-Mike

check with the developers in the MSDN forums - Outlook for Developers Forum - but I don't think you can bind two controls to the To field, even though they are on separate read and compose pages.
