How do I validate a field in a Outlook 2003 Form
Hi,
I wonder if you could help me. I am having difficulties with validating fields in an Outlook 2003 form. Region: 1l Area: a, b Region: 2l Area: c, d Region: 3l Area: e, f In my form I have created a ComboBox called “Region” containing values 1, 2 and 3. The values in my next ComboBox called “Area” should be dependent on the value selected in the first ComboBox “Region” e. g. if a user selected Region “1”, in Area there should be values “a” and “b”, if a user selected Region “2”, in Area there should be values “c” and “d” and so on… I would be very grateful if you could help me Thanks Zuzana

How do I validate a field in a Outlook 2003 Form
Some missing info: Are Region and Area the names of Outlook custom properties? Is Area a multi-select combo box since you' talking about it having multiple values? (Can't say that I've ever seen one)

How do I validate a field in a Outlook 2003 Form
Dear Sue,
Thank you for your response. As you are probably aware, from my first email, I am a novice in this area, therefore I am not sure what you mean by Outlook custom properties. However, in answer to your second question, both "Region" and "Area" are Multi-select combo boxes, each of which contains a list of values. What I am trying to do is make the list of values in the "Area" combo box dependent on the selection from the "Region" combo box.

How do I validate a field in a Outlook 2003 Form
Outlook uses properties to store data in items. A control on a custom form can be bound to a custom property, so that data entered into the control is stored in the property, and data in the property is visible in the control. A control can also be unbound. In that case, Outlook discards any data in the control when the item is saved.
The distinction is important for many reasons: Whether a control is bound or unbound determines (a) what event to use to respond to the user's interaction with the control, (b) the best syntax for accessing the data value in the control, (c) whether the data in the control can be used in a validation formula. The Properties dialog for the control tells you on its first tab the name of the control, and on its second tab, the name of the field, if any, that is bound to the control. We need both pieces of informaton -- the name of the control and the name of the property, if any, that the control is bound to. Also, since Region is a multi-select combo box, can you give an example of how multiple selections in it would affect the Area box? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Zana" wrote in message ...

How do I validate a field in a Outlook 2003 Form
We will have two boxes:
1/ "Region" as a multiple combo box which contains values 1, 2, 3 and 4; 2/ "Area" combo box which contains values a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. If a user selects 1 from the "Region", multiple combo box, then I want the “Area" multiple combo box to display, ONLY, the values "a" and “b". If 2 is selected from the "Region" multiple combo box, then I want the "Area" multiple combo box to display, ONLY, the values "c" and "d". If 3 is selected from the "Region” multiple combo box, then I want the “Area" multiple combo box to display, ONLY, the values "e" and “f". And finally, If 4 is selected from the "Region" multiple combo box, then I want the "Area" multiple combo box to display, ONLY, the values "g" and "h".
