It would one-off the form because you'd be adding controls to it on the fly.
That's guaranteed to do that. If you insist on this method I can't help you
any further because it's so wrong.

Hi,

I did consider adding a control to open a separate form , but it has
usability issue.
I also prototyped displaying an alternate form, but it also involves
rebuilding a lot of functionality which comes free in native outlook form
like all the menus (File ....etc), Scheduling Tab etc.
Also considered hiding just appointment tab, and building tab P-2 &
renaming
it. this requires lot of activex controls for date-time, reminder, sound,
label etc etc fields because these are not in custom form toolbox.

So, Prototyping using Subclassing mechanism is atleast worth trying. Why
would a form be one-offed by this?

My requirement is to add few fields on appoitnment from from local
database,
and NOT loose any native functionality at the same time.

Hence, looking for details/codesnippet of implementing subclassing
appointment form.

thanks
