hi Aruna,

I have been struggling with this code.

So ive decided to try another route > Is it possible to create a follow up flag in outlook when the form is accepted, or do the users have to do this manually?

Regarding your other question:

If the form is approved, is there a way to add the dates, into the managers calendar, that the users will be on leave for?

Good Luck!

It's b/c the value column in the drop down is empty, add some data to the value column and try again - it should work!

I looked at your approved/denied section, and the conditional formatting is incorrect, and I am not sure how you configured the submit button - b/c I don't see submit button in the form you sent.

I just added a submit button, and modified the confitional formatting in the approved/denied section - and I was able to see the hidden section in the sent email.

Attached your modified form, and in the 'Main Submit' data connection - change the email address in the 'To' field to a valid one.

Hope that works for you!

is it a possibility that the form attachment and security have something to do with this?

Can you just type submitted in the the conditional formatting text field (I think you typed "submitted") - just make that change and try.

Hi Aruna,

I have attached the form.

When i send the form to my boss, and if he clicks on "reply" the hidden section should show, which it doesnt.

Hi Aruna / Jimmy,

Thank you for the help!

I got the form working properly after a couple of test emails.
The additional section did show after i clicked on reply, but now when i click on reply this section does not show.

This happened after i set the read-only attribute to the other controls (Which I've removed due to this problem)

I have added an attribute to this section called "Status" and have set it to not show the section if the form is not submitted.

Do you have any ideas on why this is happening?

Attached a sample form that contains couple of controls (made them read-only after a form is submitted) and a section with checkboxes (made it visible after a form is submitted).

Look at the conditional formatting for each one of them to have an idea....

Hope that helps!
