SUMMARY
=======

To change a Microsoft Exchange Server Electronic Forms Designer form from a Post
Form to a Send Form:

1. On the View menu, click Window Properties.

2. In the Window Properties dialog box, click the Menu tab.

3. Click the Submit Options button.

4. Change the "Submit by" option to the desired method.

  There are two "Submit by" options:

   - Submit by Sending: this option sends an item to a recipient, distribution
     list or folder.

   - Submit by Posting: this option posts an item to the current folder.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you change the "Submit by" option for the form, you must also change the File
menu caption of the command to either Send or Post. In addition, you must also
change the Menu Help options in both the Compose and Read windows. To do this,
choose Menu Help in the Submit Options dialog box and update the Status Bar text
and ToolTip text.

If you change a Send form to a Post form, you must also remove the To, Cc, and
header fields in the form. If you change a Post form to a Send form, you must
add the To and optionally the Cc field to let the user address the form before
sending.
