Hi Ryan
Not sure what the issue is except to ask if the staff members who were having issues were logging in from outside the network?
But even if they were, my experience has been that they are supposed to be taken to the form when logged in.
Also, when they log in and see their My Forms screen, did they try clicking onto the Shared with me link to see if the form is there?
Best of luck!

Thanks for your reply, Damien.
All the staff members were on the network.
Those seeing their My forms screen did not see the form under Shared with me. Having said that, is that function more for editing than for end-user access?
- Damien_RosarioApr 04, 2018Silver ContributorI agree Ryan. It was a long shot on the Shared with me screen and I'm not sure what the solution is given that I haven't experienced it.
It might be worth logging a support ticket with Microsoft to see if they can find out or give advice?
Sorry I can't be of more help. Best of luck with this one!
Cheers

No worries Damien, I appreciate your help all the same.
It's a pity I've struck this problem, because while I think MS Forms is a nifty tool, its unreliability renders it unusable.
Oh well, I'll give MS support a crack.
- Damien_RosarioApr 05, 2018Silver ContributorIf you do get an answer from Microsoft support, it would be great to hear what the answer is. Other forum visitors could learn the answer for future reference!
