Default Include field from any form

Hi

I would like to create a form into witch i could include fields from any
other form.

Exemple if i use a form base on a task form, i cannot include field from a
contact form or just few specific field.

I try to build a help desk form for our company. i need to use field from
different form

Thank for any information


P.S. if someone had already build something and would like to share it will
be a good starting point for me.

I think you already know the answer to your own question: You need to create new custom fields to hold the data you're interested in.

I am not an expert in programmation

once i create the custom field, can i link it to an existing field?

One of the thing i try to archive is to select a contact and have the mail,
phone numbner and company to show.

Any item shows only the data stored in that item, even though Outlook lets you think otherwise by allowing you to add some fields from different types of items to the form. What you want to do requires custom code to perform the lookup. For a VBA code example that shows how to use the Links collection to accomplish this, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566. It shouldn't be hard to adapt to a custom form.
