Default Unable to open custom Task form in Outlook 2003

It appears that you are indeed selecting the type for the field. The question
really is: What are you selecting at this point? You should be selecting
Yes/No type.

Since the proposed problem with my form is that of an improper TYPE
associated with a particular control, my further question is Is there a
source that tells me what the valid TYPES that can be assigned to each
Control?

You can go to the All fields tab, in design mode, select one of your UDF's,
and down on the bottom will appear a control that lets you select from the
available types. You should be able to see the list of valid types there.

Also, if the fields are improperly bound (control to type), then why can I
open, manipulate and save the form locally?

This means that you have published the form somewhere and I am betting that
you published it to your personal forms library. If that is true, then only
you will be able to use the form on this one computer. Are you using an
Exchange server? If yes, then you should publish the form to the
Organizational Forms Library on the Exchange server. Otherwise, you need to
save the form as an OFT file, and send that OFT file to all the recipients,
telling them to open it and publish it to their personal forms library using
the same name as you use. Finally, make sure that, in design mode, you have
unchecked the box that says to send the form definition with the data item.
