Custom workflow problems

[Marty Braithwaite]

Hi everyone, I am new to workflow, and haven't had any formal training, =
if you can help out it would be appreciated.  We have a custom approval =
workflow triggered via the save of an employee expense.  One of our =
custom tasks runs a method that derives the expense statement and binds =
it into the method container, which then passes the report on to a =
sendmail task and on to the user in an email, who's expense has been =
approved.  The users have requested that I send the expense statement to =
the approver.  The sendmail task to the approver is at the beginning of =
the workflow, so I copied our existing task, and pasted it into the =
workflow just before the sendmail task to the approver.  When I run the =
workflow from within the workflow builder, by manually feeding in the =
proper input data, it all works great.  But if I try to trigger the =
workflow from the normal route, by saving an employee expense and =
triggering the event, it doesn't seem to generate the expense form and =
send it.  There are no errors, it just continues on and sends the =
approver the email, without the expense form in the email.
 
Thanks for your help in advance,
