Default Field Chooser on Customer forms items empty

"Form server"? Do you mean that the form is published to the Organizational
Forms library? What type of form is it? What did you see when you looked at
the All Fields page? How many custom properties should it have?

This is weird because I know that at one time, the fields would be available
when I did this.
I looked at the link you suggested. My question is that this form resides
on the form server. do I need to post/anchor this form to a folder to revive
the ability to see the fields in field chooser?
Thanks again!

Not necessarily. It's quite possible to design a form where the field
definitions don't actually reside in the form -- they're only in the
folder
instead. You can check this on the form's (All Fields) page by comparing
the
contents of the two "User Properties" lists. The article at
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=29 describes best practices for
adding the field definitions to both the form and the folder, which is the
ideal situation.

Yes, and when I select the actual custom form in the drop down box, no
field
are present, and there should be a bunch!
syntax error on my part, I meant custom (not customer) objects like all
the
text boxes, etc.
Thanks!

Did you try using the dropdown list at the top of the Field Chooser to
choose
a different set of fields?

when I open the field chooser in a custom Outlook form and select the
current custom form, there are no items listed in the list. There are
plenty of customer objects on the form that should be available.
Any ideas why these customer objects are not showing up?
