OWA and email form problems
Hello, We're having a problem I haven't found any Q articles on... We occasionally run email surveys... the email itself has a web form in it that sends its input to a PERL script, which then sends the results to a certain user. This form works correctly when accessed through Outlook, but not through OWA. (BTW... Exch. 5.5, SP4, Win2K Server, SP2) When a user attempts to fill out the form in OWA, the recipient just gets a blank form (has all the formatting the PERL script sends out, just no input from the form). Anyone able to tell me why OWA is not allowing form input to the script?

RE: OWA and email form problems
What did you actually do? Do you have an Outlook form that you've created with Perl Script in it? If that's the case, it won't work with OWA because OWA by default doesn't know how to display forms of type IPM.Note.xx. It can display IPM.Note only (for message type items). You need to publish your custom form to OWA. You can use the HTML Form Converter (which is on the SP4 CD) to do this. However, I have never tried it with an existing HTML message. You may need to do some tweaking after.

All it is is an HTML form... it has no PERL scripting in it, but it does reference a PERL script that runs from IIS. Does the issue you describe still apply? -Original Message- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 12:39 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OWA and email form problems What did you actually do?

RE: OWA and email form problems
Aah, then you may be in better shape. You still may need to readd some of the HTML code. However after you run the HTML form converter, it gives a to do list report that explains exactly what wasn't converted and what to do about it. Alternatively, you can publish this HTML form to a web location and then include the hyperlink to this web location in the body of the message. Something like if you don't see the survey, click here.
