Field Chooser on Customer forms items empty
Tried that as well already! You have trained me well!

How are you choosing the form in the Field Chooser? Try going through the
Forms... option, which will bring up a dialog where you can choose the
form.

yes, published to our Organizational forms server. The form is based on

When I go to the all fields page and select USER-DEFINED fields in this
item
in the select from box, my text box etc names show up. when I choose the
name of the form, nada! I do have a bunch of fields and several tabs

"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.

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?
