Word / Outlook 2003 ActiveX and Macro Security

[dave_g_s-a]

I am working on a Word document that I will be using as a form to submit data, and my ideal functionality would be to allow end-users to open the form, complete it and do a File -> Send To -> Mail Recipient, which essentially embeds the content into an e-mail (without attaching a .doc file). The problem is that the drop-down form fields and the text-box form fileds, which are ActiveX controls, do not come through in outlook, likely because the content is not trusted. I have tried digitally signing the document with a certficate generated with SelfCert.exe, but even on the computer that I have created the document and certificate on, that does not seem to work.

Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone done anything similar to this successfully?

Thanks!!
